[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your baby has by far gotten the majority of known health benefits from breastfeeding by this point. There is strong evidence that bc continuing to breastfeed provides benefits to YOU in terms of reducing risks of reproductive cancers. But whether that is worth it to you depends on the other pros and cons you see. I think the best reason to keep going is if you and baby enjoy it, but since you are meh on it I wouldn’t feel pressure to continue. [/quote]

I think an additional consideration would be uf it was fall and your baby was starting daycare because those winter illnesses are very disruptive and breastfeeding does have a marginal impact I'm reducing them. But it is almost May so I don't think the benefit will be very much as there are fewer bugs going around.[/quote]
I think it makes a big difference for colds. I have three kids and the baby was always the least sick of the three when a cold was going around. I think I gave him partial immunity to basically everything. The eldest had fake appendicitis when he got covid (it inflamed a lymph node in his gut and it acted just like appendicitis). The baby was the least covid sick kid of the three. I recently weaned him and we got ran through with a series of late spring colds and everyone is equally sick. Anecdotal data, I know. [/quote]
