I am not sure what to do.
I have dts of 2.1. Dt2 is still nursing a couple of times a day. Dt1 gave up at about 16 months. I am not sure if this was self-weaning or a nursing strike. They will be my last babies so I am happy to nurse them until they want to stop.
Dt1 has some health/developmental issues, and I feel he would benefit from being fed by me(as his sister still is).
Is it too late? Will he have forgotten what to do? I am too scared of him biting to just offer it without asking you lovely lot!
When he gave up I was so sleep deprived I didn't keep offering, now I am less tired and thinking clearer I feel sad and guilty about this.
My older (single) children were breastfed until about 18 months due to pregnancy/work issues, so feeding toddlers this old is new to me.
Thanks if you have read this far!
