I think my DS may be weaning at 3.5 and I am not sure if I am ready or not. 
He has mentioned for the past couple of weeks that there is no more milk and saying "I drank it all up!". He will still nurse briefly in the morning or at night, but not usually both, and the morning nursing is fading fast. He has gone 24 hours between nursings at least three or four times in the past month or so too. I am wondering how long it lasts when a child starts to taper down so much and the milk has almost completely dried up? I really want to celebrate his weaning when it happens, and am wondering about how much longer we might have?
The funny thing is that about a month ago, he had a MAJOR uptick in how often he nursed. I was starting to make more milk, and he was nursing multiple times a day every day. I honestly think he would still nurse more if I had more milk, but I sort of feel silly trying to do anything to increase my supply at this point. I don't think he really gets that there will be an end point someday, and he is just slowing down on his own.
Please hold my hand through this mamas. He will likely be my only child, so I am a little sad to let this stage go.
