Help! My 18 months nurses ALL day!!

[mamafever]

He is not sick or coming down with something and this has been going on for a while. I thought maybe it was just a growth spurt, but my 18 month old son would nurse all day if I let him. It is hard to do anything or be on time anywhere and even at night, he nurses allllllllll night! I feel like I am not getting much sleep. I always thought I would never wean him, but this is really getting tiring. Any ideas? Are there some kids that just won't wean themselves and they need guidence?

Are you offering much solids? At about 18 months my daughter was just starting to eat more food and nurse slightly less. Like, she'd eat some plain yogurt and some avocado and then not nurse for a couple hours. I've heard of babies who self-wean before 2 yrs, but I'd guess closer to age 3 would be when most little ones are ready to give up nursing on their own.
