My older two stopped nursing at a younger age so I don't know much about this stage when it comes to breastfeeding. DD2 has continued to nurse basically on demand. Generally when she wakes up, when I get home from work and before bed. Sometimes over night but that depends a lot on illness, etc.
I had wanted to stop around 12 months but in a gradual and not harsh way. I figured it would taper off as she ate more food and ran around. We were going on two vacations over the summer so I let her continue while we were away which worked out really well in the heat and being out of our routine, etc. I teach so I was back to work in September and I thought it would again taper off and just stop totally, but it hasn't.
As much as I had wanted to stop, truthfully, I don't mind continuing because she is my last baby and I really have no issue with her wanting to nurse.
The only annoyances are that she can be very demanding. She pulls at my shirt and cries "Milk! Milk!". She has been known to claw at me trying to pull my shirt or dress up. I picked her up from daycare once and she wanted to nurse. I told her she'd have milk at home and it was time to go bye bye and she got so upset she ran away from me and hid in a corner yelling "No!" until I agreed to nurse her first before we left. She also likes having both of my breasts out so she can switch back and forth like it's an open buffet. I have to wear nursing appropriate clothing or otherwise half strip my entire outfit to nurse. It can become somewhat embarrassing.
Also, she really doesn't want DH at night because he doesn't have the comfort of nursing that I provide.
She eats well and drinks from a cup. Though if I offer her a cup when she wants milk I receive a firm "NO!" She will sometimes take a cup instead but I think there's a difference between thirst and seeking comfort. She takes a pacifier but if she wants nursing she'll refuse her pacifier as well.
I guess I just sort of want to know if anyone has any tips for how to curtail the demanding nature of her nursing.
