How old is your nursling

[josh&davesmomme]

just curious I know there is a wide range of ages...I'm wondering if there any here with "younger" nurslings who have already decided CLW is the path they're going to take. How many with "older" nurslings......

Wow youre in Wisconsin? ME TOO My dd is 14 months and took the CLW path. She is down to 3 times a day, but when she is sick or hurt she comes to the breast for comfort. She doesnt nurse throughtout the night anymore, kinda just stopped that herself. She sleeps 12 hours...wheww I wish I could some days lol..
I think by the time she walks on her own that she might be sick of mommy by then..we shall see.

Well my only nursling is only 10 months, but since I nursed the last two to 5 1/2 and 4 1/2, I think we count as CLW'ers.

When my first was around a year I had no intentions of weaning him any time soon, but I didn't know about CLW and I had no idea he'd make it to nearly 6. I figured he'd just stop before about 18 months, don't all kids

henry self-weaned at 16 months, and that was just so early for me, i wasn't prepared. hopefully b will want to go longer, and now i have more resources that will help me continue.

I nursed my oldest for 30 months, and my second for only 14 months. I regretted allowing her to wean that early for years afterwards- I couldn't even handle going to breastfeeding boards- it was just too painful- until I got pregnant again. Needless to say, as soon as I found out I was pg I knew I would let this child self-wean. DS weaned when he was a little over 4.

Almost 6 months and almost 3 years.

[witchbaby]

13 months and just over 3 years.

[box_of_rain]

18 months.

DS is 15 months and I guess I decided somewhere around 6 months that I decided I would CLW. I had never thought it wasn't a possibility, but just hadn't really given it too much thought yet. I just can't imagine having him ask for milkies and me telling him no. How could I take away the thing that is most comforting for him, especially when I know about all the nutritional/health benefits?

My little man is almost 20 months - a new "record" for me since my first only nursed 18 months.

My nursling is also 15 mos. and I feel the exact same way.... so I think we are on the CLW path.

DD is just over 3-1/2 years old now. Sometimes I wish she would wean, but I don't plan to try and push her because she seems to really need it emotionally and we don't do dairy.

Some days I feel really touched out still and might ask her to wait a few minutes until I can be in a better frame of mind, but I think that's better for our relationship than letting her nurse when I would be resenting it the whole time.

A few weeks ago, I thought she might be going to weaning herself, but after this week, I'm pretty sure she is not. I have mixed feelings about the whole thing. I know when she does wean, I'll miss it. But at the same time, sometimes I am really ready to have my body back.
