ds is nearly 15 months old and having a miserable time teething at the moment. it got so bad that he went on nursing strike for 3 days and a little voice said 'perhaps if this goes on he will self wean, which would be quite good', although he always hated formula and he's not that keen on cow's milk.
he very obviously wanted to feed but when he tried it was too painful so he had to make do with having his hand down my top - and i even gritted my teeth and allowed some nipple twiddling for once!!!
anyway, he managed it yesterday and it was obviously such a relief and a comfort to him that i felt guilty for even thinking about stopping. i'd be interested to hear anyone else's experiences
but to get back to the point of my question, i wondered how long it would take for him to forget about bfeeding - a week? two? people say, 'oh, they forget about it really quickly' but ds obviously wasn't going to magically forget after a couple of days
