[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC1 self weaned at 18 months, was down to twice a day from about 14 months on. He loved his milk bottle until we took it away around age 3, and then just wouldn't touch milk after that.

DC2 is 14 months now and LOVES nursing. She nurses 5-6 times a day. I don't even know where to start, but I think I'll let her nurse until about age 2 or so. I know it's a big comfort thing for her right now. She'll go off to play with her brother happily for an hour then come for some nursing and cuddles for 10 minutes, and go off again.[/quote]

My little girl was like your second child.  While there’s is nothing wrong with nursing a toddler, if you want to cut down the sessions give warned cow’s milk in a straw cup and always have water at the offer.  With my DD at around 16 months, when she came to me to nurse I would hold her and cuddle her - make her laugh and give her undivided attention.  If she wanted to nurse after that I never refused but about six out of ten times all she really wanted was my attention and to connect with me.  Since she was eating and drinking well, and liked cows milk, she just wanted the quiet cuddle.  She self weaned completely at two and very easily.  Just an FYI
