OK...can I ask a question? I always understood weaning to mean eventually there was an "end" to it. Do kids "pick it up and put it down" after they've been weaned? Like maybe only breastfeed once a month??

Teeth - that was more or less a joke ( but come on full chops ) I BF both of my kids one for 9 months the other 6 , i went back to work sooner with the second . I don't know but would think at some point milk drys up ? And really to each his own , but that poor kid i think that's going to follow him throughout school ?So...when do you think babies get teeth?
Exactly.
I refused to feed my baby in the bathroom stall for the same reason I would not eat in the bathroom stall.
If you only had one child you couldn't nurse just once a month, it doesn't take long at all for your milk to dry up. So not a usual case for one child.
I don't know how it works with 2 children, but there are mom's out there that are still nursing their first child when the second one comes along. From what I've read the first one self-weans when the colostrum starts (about week 36 of pregnancy) for the second one as it tastes bad to them. I suppose they could start up again when the real milk comes in (about 3-7 days after birth).
If they are simply soothing I think they can get away with 2-3 weeks.
I was preggo with my DD1 when nursing DD2 (I figured out I was preggo because my milk just was not coming in as well) I nursed her until she stopped (I was probably about 6-7 months pregnant) it was the lack of milk that made her no longer interested, and once I introduced the cup, she liked the easy access to milk. She never showed interest again after her sister was born.
So now he’ll do it maybe once a month."

It is a shame in this country, you get more looks for nursing a toddler than you do for feeding the toddler McDonalds.

Again that was a joke :lol: / just got back from a party with some kids that are 3 years olds ..... yep think 3 yrs is to old to be BFThis whole thing about stopping because they have teeth is silly. People don't stop giving a bottle when they get teeth. Who stops feeding their child just because they have teeth?
A place to debate everything and anything!
