Guest guest Posted August 7, 2000 Report Share Posted August 7, 2000 I plan on nursing my twins until they decided for themselves to wean. They are now 13 months old and its going really great. It is actually the only time I have to sit down and relax and watch a little tv.

Guest guest Posted August 7, 2000 Report Share Posted August 7, 2000 I had only planned to go to six months with my last, a year if all went well. I then educated myself a bit more and self-weaned at 21 months. I was heart broken that she decided she was done and if there is ever another child, I will do everything in my power to nurse at least 2 years. IMO, preferred a binky to mom cuz she could run around with it. We only recently weaned her off of that and she is 3 ½ now. Jenn how long are you planning to breast feed..

Guest guest Posted August 7, 2000 Report Share Posted August 7, 2000 Since my first never bf, I just hoped with my 2nd that it would work. I was planning on 6 months, then 12 months but she just never stopped. She's 2 1/2 now and will probably self wean by the end of this year at the rate she's going. I have a new baby who is 4 months, he will self wean as well. Michele to breast feed.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 7, 2000 Report Share Posted August 7, 2000 I nursed my daughter for 13 months and sorely regretted letting her wean to bottles. When I got pg I thought I would nurse at least 2 years. Now Zaid is almost 3 and I am hoping that he will continue for a long time. With the average natural weaning age being 4 to 7, it would be nice if he nursed until he is at least 4. I know that whenever he decides to wean that it will be hard for me. He will be small for such a brief time that I want to savour every moment of it. Wendi http://www.lactivist.com breastfeeding resources and info how long are you planning to breast feed..

Guest guest Posted August 8, 2000 Report Share Posted August 8, 2000 At least 2 years. I weaned my first at 21 months in the middle of a pregnancy, but it was a struggle to do, so I want to nurse longer this time.

Guest guest Posted August 8, 2000 Report Share Posted August 8, 2000 Amy W., The best way to introduce solids is to start with once a day in a small amount--choose a time when you feel like you have the least milk (or when feedings are closest together) and just offer. Sometimes working moms do this at day care so that they can nurse when together and have to pump less, though your situation is unique. Once started, then you choose how much to increase--in volumes and in frequencies. I was always conservative with my first, but now I am faced with starting #2 on something within the week.
