My son declared shortly before his 5th birthday that he would stop nursing when he turned 5. He was down to a quick nurse in the mornings only (DH and I joke it was like his morning cup of coffee).
He nursed a few more times the week after his birthday and then that was it. We went on a family camping trip and a 2 week road trip and he didn't ask once during any of it.
Then this week he said "So do I get a weaning party now that I am all done nursing?"
:
For his party he said he wants our neighbors, chicken legs, cupcakes, popcorn, balloons, and a day out sailing. I am all for that!
So 5 years and about one week and completely self weaned. No night weaning, no nothing. I thought I would be sad, but I guess I was ready too. It feels right.
