[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't remember where I heard this, but someone once told me: You either wean your child before 18 months, or when they tell you they're done nursing.

OP you need to be fully committed to doing this, or you're going to fail.  The incessant whining, grabbing, crying etc is hard to tolerate, and if you give in once, you've basically taught them to cry until you give in again.[/quote]

This.  Sorry OP, but if you’re still breastfeeding now I don’t see you being the kind of mom who can say no.

Also, your child is likely lower weight because of the nursing instead of eating, which is very selfish of you.  If you care about your child’s health you wean ASAP.  [/quote]

You’re an idiot, PP.  None of what you wrote is remotely true.

I had to wean my breastfed-on-demand 23 month old suddenly because of medication I needed.  We were still nursing about four times a day and I rarely refused.  I explained to her that I had to start a medicine that would make my milk bad for her and we both cried at our last session.  The next day she asked to nurse a couple times and I told her we couldn’t and she was sad but not crying.  I gave her a special treat (milkshake) instead and she was done.

Nothing changed!  She is still petite and still wakes up at 5:30 AM ready to start her day.  [/quote]
