Abby (9/23) is still nursing 2-3x a day. I was wondering if anyone else had a nursing toddler.

My little Sophia is still nursing. She loves table food as well. I plan on letting her self wean. I think she also still nurses because of her sensory issues.

Abby still eats food too. And she drinks soy and almond milk (she is allergic to cows milk) from a cup. She is actually self weaning now. I offer her milk and she will say, "snuggle". She nurses once a day now. And its usually in the afternoon sometime when she is super tired or just wants some mommy time.

Emily (9/17) is very much still nursing! I also plan on allowing her to self-wean. She does eat regular food and drinks regular milk, but she still loves the boob!

I plan on nursing her until she self weans. The average world wide self weaning age is around 3. She nurses 3x a day at this point. When she first wakes up, before nap, and then again before bed. We are still co-sleeping too. :)

My son was born on 9/23 too...I wish I was able to nurse longer but I coudn't handle it. It was too painful and I have cysts so that didn't help. I stopped at 5 weeks and then did a few more weeks of pumping and then done. I'm hoping if and when I have another child I'll be able to find some help in nursing longer, but I definetely don't see myself going past a year. Maybe do pumping as long as I can but def not nursing. How long do you plan on keeping nursing? Just wondered.
