Child led weaning from bf

[April09]

For those who did child led weaning from breastfeeding, what age did your nursling wean? I have a DD aged 18 months who loves feeding and we have fed on demand since birth and cosleep. However, I am pretty much ready to be done though she is not. I could handle feeding for a bit longer but don't want to be feeding her until she is 4 or 5.....On the other hand I'm not sure I want to wean her if she isn't ready which she clearly isn't at the moment.....Any advice gratefully received.

April09 - Please accept my apologies for my part in derailing your thread. I'm really sorry and I hope you will start a new thread where I promise I will not rise to the bait

I have not sworn, have apologied to OP for taking her thread of topic, explained my reasons for using this thread as a base for my queries, accused OP of nothing and asked a genuine question, thanked people for thier time where they have given it an explained my views rather then accusing mums of a sexual act.

And yet it would because I have asked a question people dont like, its OK for you to pat each other on the back and say I'm the one out of line? Oh well, long may this forum contuine to be of use to people who whant to ask BF questions, and hevaen help anyone who want to discuss anything else!

And I have not sorly proved anyone. I asked a genuine question in a polite manner and got the F word in responce.

Anyway, now I AM the one raisng to the bait. Goodbye ladies on this one I think, nothing good can come of it any futehr, which is a shame, but thats the way it goes.

I didn't actually tell you to fuck off toddler, I can if you like?

I cannot understand the logic either that if you can understand the rules then you must be too old. Makes no sense at all.

Ds is nearly 15 and was bf till he was 4. He doesnt remember at all and it has no impact on his life now at all. He's never been ridiculed for it, has never had to receive counselling, we dont discuss ever (why would we?). I've never understood the assumption it must screw people up.
Dh was bf till he was 4 and remembers it (now in his 40s.) It has never had an impact on his life. Never been teased etc.

Dd was bf till she was 3 and is now 7. Has no recollection and has never been teased, ridiculed etc.

I would love to know where these screwed up adults are due to being bf to the age they can understand the rules.

You can't raise to the bait anyway toddler, you are the one who derailed an advice thread with your rude, ignorant and illogical views.

I could only assume you were trying to wind-up the natural term feeders who would be replying to this thread to help another Mother.

If you are genuinely curious, start another thread.
