[notreallyhereDee]

[FairyTaleOfNewYork]

How old?
As mine got older they did miss days out but still carried on intermittently for many weeks.

[FairyTaleOfNewYork]

22months (its misdee btw)

[moondog]

Oh haya!
Can't keep up with you.
It'll be fine.
Maybe she is self weaning anyway eh?
Just keep offering if you want to carry on.
My ds self weaned at 11 months.

[FairyTaleOfNewYork]

nooo not 11months.


i want another one, just so i can breastfeed for ages again. didnt manage it with the older 2, its been brilliant this time round. i know i am going to miss it.

[moondog]

Yes,it is great isn't it?
Other advantages though.
Nice underwear for a start.

You've done fabulously Misdee,especially with everything else on your plate.If she finishes it is her choice.
Remember that.

i know its her choice,i couldnt exactly force her to carry on, it would be impossible, despite what some people say

thanks for the praise, but i have to say i have enjoyed it, well except for the early teethign at 2months (ouch) and the time dh was in ITU, i almost gave up then, but she was only 4months old.

yay for nice underwear lol.

[FairyTaleOfNewYork]

she has missed today as well now. so last feed was early thursday morning.

[moondog]

Misdee,forgot to mention that I was amazed at how long milk remained after we had stopped.

If s/he had a suck weeks later there was some there.

I could tell by the look of alarm on their faces.

[FairyTaleOfNewYork]

oh there is still milk there. its hurts!
