My son is 17.5 months and for the first time ever just refused boob. We're down to twice a day and have been for a couple of months. This evening he bit me twicehard bites, as in "no"and I asked if he wanted to cuddle instead of milk, and he said "yes". So we cuddled for five minutes, then I put him in his crib and he fell fast asleep.
I was thinking of weaning in a couple of months, but I'm a bit sad if this is how it ends. I guess I'll offer at the usual time tomorrow morning.
Meantime, do I need to pump an ounce? If it is sudden weaning, what the hell do I do? Compresses? Pump a little each day and gradually reduce the amount?
