It is only before bed, and only for a few minutes, but it is my most favourite time of the day. With a very active boy, sometimes it is the only time when we get to snuggle. I know he loves his "milka", and I will miss nursing him when he eventually weans...which I hope is not too soon. :) Leahnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7631634189597607181.post-19903037552460502652013-05-02T09:15:16.061-07:002013-05-02T09:15:16.061-07:00Awesome.

Lilah nursed until 26 months when she weaned herself (sadly, because she had hand, foot and mouth, and her mouth and throat were just too sore, but at that point it was only once or twice a week anyway). I think the argument about "when they can ask for it" is silly. Like you said, and I always say, they are always asking for it. So why, just when they are in command of the language to "ask for it" and you know EXACTLY what they want, would you stop purely on principle? It's really the most nonsensical thing I have ever heard. I plan to nurse Henry as long as we are both still enjoying it.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11901921122145191694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7631634189597607181.post-7281673492099564242013-05-01T22:03:38.212-07:002013-05-01T22:03:38.212-07:00Oh I could not agree with you more! My girls were...Oh I could not agree with you more! My girls were 19 months and 22 months when they decided that they wanted things to be different. I totally believed in your #3. It was so much for me in the final months. Really, that time spent just sitting with them and observing was incredibly precious and sometimes just what i needed in a day! i had a hard time with not having that aspect of it when they had weaned themselves. still though, i'd like to think that it does create something special in the bond we continue to have! ; ) Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17040974899152167390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7631634189597607181.post-51012939050161270472013-05-01T19:21:34.292-07:002013-05-01T19:21:34.292-07:00Oh I do miss breastfeeding Marcus!

Breastfeeding created such a close connection between Marcus and I. It was such a great experience!Melissahttp://www.keenmommy.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7631634189597607181.post-33029980119222453972013-05-01T15:04:23.561-07:002013-05-01T15:04:23.561-07:00I nursed Jacob until 19 months and I weaned him be...I nursed Jacob until 19 months and I weaned him because he was having trouble sleeping unless he could nurse all night long. Once we stopped, he slept great! At the end, we were only nursing in the morning and at night, but he wanted to be attached when sleeping. <br /><br />Elise is now 10 months old and we'll continue on past her 1st birthday. I don't have an end date in mind, we'll just see what happens. Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07557351008969528273noreply@blogger.com
