my 3rd child others self weaned gradually 16 mths old. Up until 4 days ago ds2 would have up to 6-7 feeds in 24 hrs. Now he latches sucks then recoils pushes it away laughs and crawls to get his cup and hands it to me. I can read the signals, he wants it from a cup. He can have cows milk. No bother. Except I'm fairly gutted. I know its not about me but he's my last child and I love feeding him. He will take a bottle no bother as well.
At night he wakes 1-2 times and he is still feeding then. Feel a bit of a dummy only feeding in the dead of night but...
He self settles without a feed so I have no huge problems aside from little lump in my heart.
