Reply #180: I agree that kids let you know [View All]

although I only nursed one. My son was about 9 months old when he started only wanting to nurse at night and that lasted about a month.

I think if he could have crawled around the room with the breast he'd have nursed longer. Just too much to do and see to spend all that time in one place with a breast blocking his view.

He had started sipping water out of a baby cup months before and preferred that to a bottle for other liquids. That is what he went to when he quit nursing.

He quit accepting completely pureed baby food at the same time and pretty much insisted on feeding himself, messy as that was. I guess he decided he was too grown up for the nursing, baby food thing.

I never thought about when I'd stop nursing but if it had to be my call and not his I am quite sure I wouldn't paint my breasts to scare him.
