Anyone else STILL bf ?

Question

My LO is 17 months today and still bf like he did at 5mo. He can eat actual food but chooses not to a lot. I can be gone alllll day and comeback hearing my husband say he wouldn’t eat anything but goldfish or something like that, and he loves grapes  and what not but I need him to eat real food and not just snack all of the time. 
AND he is still waking up for night feedings
HELP!

Answer

Yes..before bed, sometimes morning, and she wakes once at night so I nurse. I just do it still probably because I'm scared to break this routine. It's how she goes to sleep, I'm terrified to stop and not be able to get her down! But I'm ready to stop, for sure.

Answer

Yeah 3-4x a day. I would love if she dropped down, but I’m not interested in stopping just yet. There’s too many benefits to extended breastfeeding to stop now. I work from home too, I can’t be sure I would be saying the same if I didn’t!

Answer

I'm still nursing. Only down to about 2 or 3 feedings a day. Mornings, when I get home from work(sometimes) and before bed. I wanted to stop when he was 12 months but he was not ready and he still not ready. He will tell me when he wants it tho by pulling on my shirt. I'm starting to think about weaning when he's 18 months because he's getting so big. 
Sometimes he will wake up at night to nurse but it's very dear. Mostly just wakes up bc he wants to cuddle, which its hard to say no to cuddles. 😂

Answer

I always said I would breastfeed until my son was ready (or way too big). He self weaned from night feeds at 11 months when he started sleeping through the night. We were down to 1-3 feeds a day, then at 14 months he self weaned off the day feeds as well. I was sad but also happy he chose to himself. 🙂

Answer

Still breastfeeding because it's good for him. Down to only about 3 feedings a day for that on good days; almost fully weaned but not quite there. Currently he's teething and going through a growth spurt so it's definitely more than that with night feedings added. I don't have suggestions for help because I'm not sure what exactly you want help with. Are you wanting to stop breastfeeding, cut off night time feedings..?

Answer

Still breastfeeding because that's our decision. Really my son just isn't ready to wean, and I'm not needing that to happen or anything. He's also a snacker. As they get bigger they eat better. My son is currently in a only pasta or rice phase and everything else that he previously loved is, "yucky". My son also still wakes for night feeds. They are still only so little. I have shoes older than my kid 😉
