Is anyone still breastfeeding?

Question

Hi,
Are any other moms still breastfeeding their youngest one?
I am and I don’t know if I’ll be able to stop before the new baby arrives. Part of me wants to continue and part of me doesn’t. I want to at least wean night time and stop feeding to sleep. 
I feel like I’m running out of time and I’m not ready to be a mom of 2.

Answer

I’m still nursing my 15 month old. He only nurses once at night and occasionally in the morning at some point. But my oldest two went for 15/16 months each so it’s possible he’ll come off on his own soon but I’m not forcing it. My drs said to stop him by 20 weeks(which I am now) but their reasoning was because “we don’t know how to handle a nursing pregnant mom, we don’t know what to do, it could cause early contractions but we don’t know for sure” so I’m just doing what me and my child want 🤷🏻‍♀️

Answer

I was prepared to nurse throughout this pregnancy, but my son surprised me by weaning a few weeks ago, just a couple months shy of his 3rd birthday. We had previously been nursing to sleep every night and weekend naps. I have mixed feelings about it, but overall we’re both happy!

Answer

My 4 year old STILL tries to latch on occasionally, but if have said it's just too painful...

Answer

I just finally weaned my son. It required my husband to take him over night for a bottle…whatever decision you make I wish you all the best!

Answer

Yep. Still nursing our 18 month old and honestly it’s painful but I can’t see her weaning before baby comes.

Answer

I am! But just like with my second pregnancy (my first two are 17 months apart) I just ended up tandem nursing until I got my youngest weaned. Which was a little after he turned 3.

Answer

This is the first pregnancy that I am not breastfeeding the youngest! Its baby 5 for me, and longest break ive had from nursing. I was pregnant/bf for 7 yrs straight before a year break from both

Answer

Thank you all for sharing!  I don’t feel so alone now.

Answer

I just weaned my first like 2ish weeks ago. But she was also 23 months so she was pretty much done herself. We gradually stopped and one day she didn't want to breastfeed and that was it. And I stopped offering after that.
