So DS2 is 2 today...

[HaventSleptForAYear]

and still bf.

Any indication of how long he might feed for now????

I have kind of got to this point without noticing it but now we are past my final "WHO guidelines" justification and just wondering how things will go from here on.

DS1 self-weaned at 1.

Am back at work fulltime (have been since he was 3mths) but no sign of stopping.

Give me a ball park figure... or will I have to gently encourage stopping?

I gently started dropping the feeds after ds's first birthday and offering cows milk instead it took 2 weeks for him to stop asking for it (pulling up my top etc.) By 14 months he had no interest and was perfectly happy on Cows milk.

I may have let him wean more naturally if i wasn't TTC no.2 but wasn't getting anywhere fast still bf. (still not pregnant now and ds is 14 months)

Just to add well done to getting to two years! that is really great, especially with working full time too that's allot of comitment on your part, i am in awe!

Also if you're worried what people might say don't tell them. It's none of their business and as long as you and your dc are happy then that's all that matter.

And HAPPY BIRTHDAY to your ds.

really am going now!

Aaah - thank you.

Yes DS1 self-weaned by gradually upping the number of bottles of cows milk he had until he just got frustrated with bf (not fast enough).

DS2 rarely has a bottle these days and I don't really want to re-introduce them.

No extended bf-ers around???

I'm around. Still giving DD (20 m) one a night as its calms her and its the only time she asks for it. I'm hoping she'll wean herself off it soon as it makes leaving her at night a bit of a problem. She has at least 400mls of cows milk a day but it still doesn't stop her. I'm in no hurry though - I think you should feel proud. I don't tell anyone - its not that I'm really that bothered, its more that i don't see its anyone else's business.

I'm tandem feeding DD 2.3 and DS six months. I have no idea when DD will ever self wean but once you get past the mental stress bit and accept that it's still good for your child as it was until he was 2, it's much easier!
