My twins are almost 26 months old and my dh and I will be going away for 5 days at the end of July to attend a friend's wedding. My sons are still nursing a minimum of 3X a day and seem to get quite a bit of milk. Part of me hopes they do wean while we're gone and part of me doesn't. If they ask to nurse when I get back I certainly won't refuse them. I know it all depends on the individual child, but I'm wondering what seems to be the most common result for mothers who have BTDT.
Will they wean if I'm gone for 5 days?

not in my experience. (mexico for a week when she was going on three, with cousins she loved. would i do it again? prolly not. but she didn't seem traumatized & it was like a week-long party to her, even tho' she missed us.) back to nursing as normal when i got back, i didn't pump or anything.

I just weaned my four yr old. I left for four nights...when I returned he insisted on nursing. I agreed to nurse him for ten min the first day and two min less each following day...weaning on the fifth day.
