DD2 is 18mths and I am still breastfeeding her early morning and before bed, plus she often asks for it during the day, although I try to disuade her from this and only give in if she's very upset or can't be distracted.
I feel tired a lot of the time and think the breastfeeding could be contributing to this so sort of want to stop even though I'd intitially decided that I would wait for dd to decide when she was ready.
My health visitor reckons that she is too old to self-wean now and that I will have to wean her by gradually cutting down.
Has anyone's dc weaned themselves after this age? I really don't want to upset her unnecessarily by "forcing" her to stop when she's not ready.
