I am, very infrequently. The twins just noticed I'm leaking colostrum and started back up LOL! Not alot but def nursing. They're thrilled to say the least. Is anyone still nursing no matter how infrequently?

I'm also still nursing. My LO is 12 & 1/2 months old and usually just nurses when he is sleepy, when he wakes up in the night, and first thing in the morning, for now. I know I have colostrum so I think he must be getting some... and maybe that's why I'm not leaking at all, hehe! I'm very curious to see what his reaction will be to me having milk again next month, after our new LO is born... and how tandem nursing will go.

Wow, you will probably be nursing 3!!!

Still going strong here! My 20 month old has continued day & night throughout my pregnancy. I guess I have colostrum now because I actually hear him swallowing again.

My 25mo Dd nurses 0-2 times a day. Less than five minutes before climbing into bed and 5-10 minutes when she wakes up. Sometimes she forgets or doesn't want to. I would be fine with her weaning anytime now that she's two, but I'm not going to push it. Sometimes she says, "There was milk" (colostrum), but it seems that those are the times that she only nurses for a minute or so; so I'm not sure if she likes the taste.

Still nursing several times a day. I think he's gained weight since I started producing colostrum. He wasn't gaining very well after my milk dried up. My nipples get very sore, but he gets really upset if I don't let him nurse, that I usually end up giving in because dealing with the pain is easier than dealing with his tantrum.

very infrequently now - once a week, was every few days a month ago - still seems to be dry nursing here. dropped off a lot when he turned 27mths

since going on bedrest have been trying to not nurse until this baby comes as i did have contractions after only a few moments of nursing, and my mw and i discussed that i should go on the side of caution and not nurse to try and prevent preterm labour.

if i get to 37wks though (just hit 34wks a few minutes ago) it's ON!

I am too! My almost two year old still nurses 2-3 times (before bed, nap and morning time) and I know it's colostrum she is getting. My milk dried up around 20 weeks, didn't deter her one bit...but around 30 something weeks I started to feel more "full" and she started swallowing. I too get discomfort when she first latches but it fades away as she nurses. Nice to know Im not alone! I get such weird looks when it "gets out" that I still nurse her.

I am

My 2 1/2 year old still feeds at least once a day...sometimes up to three times....depends!

The soreness has come and gone....she's loving the colostrum!

Still nursing here too (2.5 yr old). I REALLY would like her to night wean, but lately she just seems to have picked up her pace. Ugh. I had 2 blissful nights of not nursing to sleep, no midnight nursing and then just the one 3am nursing session. After that she completely reverted and wants boobies ALL THE TIME! She is very vocal about it and then starts her tantrum if I don't give them to her - even at night. *sigh*
