It’s false that it becomes harder to wean after 12 months, it’s actually easier to let your child wean themselves slowly or do a slow process of weaning over a few months time. Stopping cold turkey can have a lot of negative effects for mom like mastitis, clogged ducts, and engorged breast which can be very painful.

My son is 23 months and is just now weaning. It is rough but worth it.

If it's working for you, go for it. I'm going to stop pumping in a month, when she's 1, and just see what happens. If she nurses morning and evening, great, if she weans, also fine. Especially since she's gotten very bitey. Lol.

My son is just now weaning at 2. I am pregnant again and think that may be affecting my supply. He still asks to nurse occasionally, but is nursing less and less. He has been remarkably healthy.

I think you should do what’s right for you and your son. I know some who breastfed until their daughter was 4. It’s a personal thing between you and your child. I didn’t bf my first child but I’m bf’ing my second child currently. He’s only 5wks old but if we’re able I’d love to go beyond a year. It’s so beneficial for them and mama. The woman I know who bf for four years said her breast tissue is really firm and healthy even though she’s older.
