I'm also still nursing my youngest daughter who will be 2 tomorrow. My oldest daughter nursed till age 3 and my middle daughter self-weaned at 22 months when I was pregnant with my third. In other words, I understand extended nursing! LOL There are times when I feel that I'm done, but then I just focus on enjoying this time as it goes very, very quickly.Sara @ Embracing Destinyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00185927273922194788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1863242494628083632.post-70039437574953854202011-08-17T20:38:38.594-04:002011-08-17T20:38:38.594-04:00I just recently weaned my seventh child who will b...I just recently weaned my seventh child who will be 3 in Oct. I've nursed five of my children and it gets to be a longer period each time....11 months, 15 months, 20 months, 28 months and 32 months. I am 47 now....don't think there will be any more to nurse!Anitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18443223419294735273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1863242494628083632.post-20872450273433959672011-08-11T20:20:46.845-04:002011-08-11T20:20:46.845-04:00I nursed my son until he was 3 months shy of being...I nursed my son until he was 3 months shy of being 4, and that's because I had a bad breast infection, and it hurt. And he was old enough. He wasn't totally ready, but understood. He owuld still nurse if I let him. It does make me sad sometimes, that I had to wean him because of that, but it was probably time anyways. <br /><br />Don't worry about what society says.We probably don't need to be doing what society says anyways. lol<br /><br />We don't send our kids to public school, but society says we should. we don't dress immodestly, but society says we should. There are many things society says we should do, that we don't. This is just one more. <br /><br />You guys just do it until you are ready, and don't think another thing about it!

ALl of my other 5 kids just gradually weened themselves around 12-16 months or so....so having a 24 month old who wants nothing to do with stopping nursing. I am torn too. She drinks from a sippy - eats healthy, etc., we too do not nurse in public - only at home....but I sort of want to be done....until she cries for me and uses her manners asking for momma's milk! I have felt so torn! It is really nice to know I am not the only one. I have just wondered if I should worry that she doesn't want to be done!!!!Kaylahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05786734257690659413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1863242494628083632.post-10120106767221080502011-08-10T10:41:22.913-04:002011-08-10T10:41:22.913-04:00All of my babies self weaned around 14-15 months. ...All of my babies self weaned around 14-15 months. I still had comments when they were that little.

One day my mom was with me when I took my on to the doctor for a check up and I mentioned the fact that I still nursed him. The doctor (his peditrician) gave me a 'high-five' and said WAY TO GO MOM! That is the best thing you can do for your child. My mom just about fainted :) but.....she never bothered me again after that. We tried the lemon juice, band-aids, saying 'no' but it is heart breaking to see them cry when they are being comforted this way. My son finally outgrew his need for nursing, but we still snuggle and lay together, the bond we have hasn't been broken. You're doing fine, when she is ready, she'll let you know.~Jamie~https://www.blogger.com/profile/00036459659495348110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1863242494628083632.post-6412471474953153632011-08-09T18:18:52.984-04:002011-08-09T18:18:52.984-04:00Good for you!

The only reason I weaned him was to go back to fertility treatments (which didnt work anyway.) If we are ever blessed with another baby I will NEVER wean again! My cousin is nursing her 3 and1/2 year old along with her 18 month old. You are doing the right thing... its everyone else that is wrong ;) Good for you Mama! And what blessed babies you have! Keep up the good work!Erin Patriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07308272571664957690noreply@blogger.com
