 Re: The best age to stop breastfeeding. | |
Problem with stopping when they can ask for it, Nichole was asking for it at 3 months old. Then what do you do?
I think the minnimum anyone should nurse is for 12 months!!! Bare minnimum! **disclaimer** referring to woman who can breasteed**
after that it is truly up to the parent and child involved. I would love to do child led weaning but my daughter would be coming home for spring break to nurse!!! lol
We have had to do don't offer don't refuse weaning first, didn't work the kid was nursing more hten a new born!!! So I had to start refusing her. It was hard for a day, but then it was nothing to her. We started with 3 times a day and whenever she needed to at night (she was 15 months old). She night weaned herself at this point and we continued with day nurses. I dropped another one about a month ago. So we now nurse morning and afternoon (night was not as important to her). I will drop the afternoon one in about a month or two. |
