Who is still nursing

AprilAngie · October 2013

I am and want to wean but don't know how!

RNbock2 · October 2013

I am. It just works for us right now. It doesn't bother me, and isn't an inconvenience at this point. I weaned ds1 @13 months.

JAO2011 · October 2013

We are, just down to before bedtime though!

Man, I'm like the lone dairy cow over here. We still nurse...a lot. I have no idea when we're going to wean.

mooooooooooooooooooooo

Still nursing here. We're down to before his nap and before bed.

I also have no idea how to wean him from those sessions because he still really wants them.

W is still going strong at 5-7x a day. I tried to cut it down, but that backfired. I don't mind it though. The plan was to nurse till 2, but at this point I think we'll wait till he self weans.

Moooo right back at you.

Yep, many times. DD1 didn't fully wean until 3. I don't really want to go that long this time. But what ever happens happens.

I am. How often varies, but definitely more than just one or two.

On Saturday, for example, he refused to nurse during the day except once, but was up 4 times overnight. Sunday, it was probably 3 to 4 during the day (and some MOTN). Today, I think we are at 3.

If I can't cut the nights back down easily after this tooth, I am seriously considering weaning. I don't want to be done during the day, but I am totally over having nights like when he was a newborn again.

Still 2-3x a day here. She rarely asks for it during the day now. The second she wakes up in the morning she wants it and occasionally she wants it before a nap. I think it helps her calm down and get ready to nap.

Whittyone12 · October 2013

We are still nursing around 5x/ day. We plan to continue as long as K stays interested.

I always recommend that my clients use don't offer don't refuse when weaning. It usually makes for a slower weaning and it's usually easier for the baby. Basically if your LO really wants to nurse and can't be distracted then nurse, but don't offer it as an option.

Still nursing. I like to think of myself as a Sow, as opposed to a Cow though. I saw the Sow at the fair this year all lounging laying down on her fat side with her piglets attached to her teats and I thought to myself, "that's me."

latnprincess · October 2013

Nursing mornings before work and after work and bed time. On the weekends I try to keep that schedule but sometimes he nurses once in the late afternoon when I get lazy about getting a sippy.

Maizey06 · October 2013

Me! We are nursing just in the morning and evening but I am ready to be done plus I need to so we can start TTC but just in the last month she has started signing 'please' when she wants to nurse. Tugs at my heart! I keep saying I am going to wean and I chicken out.

Msbean22 · October 2013

Just at night, sometimes an extra one or two at naptime on the weekends. I...I don't know how to stop

rp-chicago-mom · October 2013

@Maizey06, I would melt into a puddle if he did that. Girl likes her nursing!

Awww, that is so cute! That would get me too!

We have been weaned since 10 months so I am just lurking but OMG how sweet is that!

sadeathe · October 2013

Us, too. Down to morning and night feedings.

vvvvvfee · October 2013

still nursing 4-5 times a day. i think i'm the only one still pumping at work (just once a day, though). i'll let DS self-wean.

punkrockabye · October 2013

I'm still pumping twice a day at work! Nursing at home has definitely gone down in frequency but it's still several times a day especially on weekends. I honestly don't know when I'll consider dropping the pumps at work. I only get 3 or 4oz total.

SpruceGrouse · October 2013

I am, I want to go to 18 months. I wanted to go longer but I am wanting to go back to warfarin, the injections are getting really painful and I am constantly bruised and swollen, I can't have my pants on tight enough because it hurts.

Mrs. Rohde · October 2013

Moi! I do before nap and bed. And the occasional MOTN comfort feed though I am trying really hard to cut that out but while he's sick the mom guilt wins.
