How often are you nursing your 14 month old?

I’m just trying to get an idea of what’s normal. Anyone still nursing a 14 month old on demand? I work from home and both DH and our nanny think I’m breastfeeding her too much and it’s interfering with her eating solids.
Thanks! |

| I did 2ce a day then. But i was out of the house. An occasional pre nap nurse. But my kids only nursed for comfort and not food after that age. |

| If you’re still nursing on demand at 14 months, you’re in for a world of hurt, OP! Your husband and nanny are correct - you have to start nursing on a strict schedule and no more than three times a day. Your toddler needs food. |

| Twice a day for me as well — I stopped nursing on demand around 10 months when my kid went to daycare and actually found she was much happier with the schedule (and got more interested in solids). I was expecting a lot more drama about the transition but it worked out really smoothly for us. |

| 2x/day, and a cup of cow milk before nap (1 nap). |

| Nursed morning and night, plus a cup of pumped milk with lunch and dinner. |

| On demand. But, it wasn't interfering with eating table foods. |

OP here. Did your child wean on their own when ready? And did you offer solids first before nursing? FTM here and I was told to nurse as long as the child wanted and when she wanted until he/she decides he/she is done. |

| I don’t really know what nursing a 14 month old on demand means. When my son was 14 months I nursed him 4 times per day. Once at wake up, once before each nap, and once at bedtime. At 15 months I cut his nap feedings out and got him down to 2x per day. At 16 months I fully weaned him. |

Was this advice from your pediatrician? |

| At 12 months on the ped's advice I dropped to morning and evening feeds. Weaned at 14 months and it was glorious. |

The pediatrician never said anything about it. I just heard from other women that they wean on their own when they’re ready. |

| I only nursed one kid that long and it was 7am, before nap, and before bed. Each month after that I cut a feeding with before bed being the last to go. |
