Congrats Richu! What an accomplishment!!

I'm hoping to stop in a month...we're moving in two months and I don't want to stop bfing AND move AND get her settled to a new place ...

Not sure how I'll do it...hoping she'll lose interest in the next few weeks!!!

Sarah, could you do the don't offer, don't refuse route? Or does she ask lots?
I have never heard of rotavirus Vicku but I'm glad your LO seems to be getting over it.
We are still on the 3 feeds a day. The after nap feed I thought we had almost dropped seems to have come back about now unless I'm not there. We have been staying in lots as I have been sick so we are having 3-feed days more often than 2-feed days. That is OK with me for though.

I could...but it's the before bed feed. She just expects it...she signs for her ;D Gawsh I'd wish she'd have more milk from her sippy cup.

Sarah are you only doing the BT feed now or more feeds?

Happy to report that we've had great success doing 'don't offer, don't refuse' for the late am feed that we've been in the rpocess of dropping for a while now. Since she's got better she's mostly not asking for it and we've only done one this whole week :D

Hm, not much point doing "don't offer, don't refuse" then if she always asks for it :-\ Does she take milk from a sippy? Would she accept that from someone else as a substitute?

Hi everyone, I'm new to this thread. Breastfeeding my 17 month old on waking and before bed still (but not to sleep). Want to stop when I get back from my hols in a couple of weeks, without reading through 26 pages is there an FAQ I can look at before I steam in with questions?

TIA :-)

I think these are the links Vicku is referring to in case you didn't find them Spodnic.

thanks for the links! I should probably post on there soon ;D

Vicku - she is not a milk guzzler! Her sippy cup filled from the morning can  last her to lunch..and that's putting some in her cereal or oatmeal if she wants some. *shrug* Soo..that doesn't make it easier!

Hi there :) I finally get to join you ladies!

E was 1 last week and I'm pretty well done the daytime wean but not sure if I'm ready for the nighttime/early morning feeds yet. My supply drops quite a bit in the evening so she gets a 3oz top up and then whatever nf's and ew feeds as necessary. I'm happy to do it, although we're still struggling with her reflux and what I'm eating.

In this past year her and I overcame a ton of bf'ing issues and I've come to really enjoy it. During the day, she couldn't care less how she gets her milk (soy milk as she's allergic to dairy and 'something' in formula), but at night - she holds out for the bf. Thankfully it's not a prop as she goes back down awake. I think she's taking a lot of comfort from it with her teething.

Hi girls, it's done, I weaned Adam at the beginning of the month!..it was really gradual and not intended as I had hoped we'd last till June, we did follow the don't offer, don't refuse route and it seems to work, so although I sometimes had the urge to feed, I had to resist so as not to mix A up.

Since we weaned, I have noticed a major rise in his milk intake and he sometimes even asks for it, how would have thought..LOL

I miss having a tiny little breast fed baby though :(

@ Sarah, I'm a PM away if you need any help or support hun :-*

Hi extended BFers,
I've posted a separate message in the main board but just wanted to ask you, since you're probably the people who'd know, would a 13 month old be signalling weaning by biting?  He's a very gentle person otherwise so there must be something specifically about BFing that makes him bite.  Though he goes over to the BFing chair, asks for a feed (morning and night) and is very happy at the indication that one is coming.  Then...chomp... Am very confused by it all.  It's so emotional as well as everything else!

Thanks for any ideas or experiences you might share.

Not sure, but could he be teething and so bites?
