Andy is 13 months old now. Until recently (last 5-6 weeks) he has had 4 breast feeds...two boobies each time. Now he usually has 2 boobies in the morning...give or take morning and/or afternoon tea boobie and 70% chance of an evening feed. At first I was worried when he didn't feed and expressed. But now I have relaxed and realised that he is not self weaning but reducing the amount he wants. I offer it (a few times just to make sure!!) and if he doesn't want it I just get him a sippy cup of milk a bit later. He is not sick and overall his fluid and solid intake is fine.
I notice that as he is a lot more active now...that he doesn't want to sit and drink...there are too many things to do. I hope that he continues to feed until he is at least 18 months...we will just see how it goes.
