I need to read more stories like this..sometimes I feel so guilty for wanting him to wean and then knowing I will miss our time together. Of course I now have a second child to look fwd to nursing but I don't think it will be the same as my first! :) Yes!

My little girl and I are still nursing at nearly 14 months. This post reminds me so much of when my baby was 8 months old and went on a nursing strike. As a first-time mom, I didn't know if this was the "end" or not. Would she nurse again or not? And I felt such sorrow for not memorizing every single tiny detail of our very last nursing. Still to this day, 6 months later, I try to pay close attention to every nursing session in case this one is the last one. Hi Judy. My little girl and I are still nursing at nearly 14 months.

For awhile breastfeeding was a painful, miserable experience for me and I thought I would never enjoy nursing my toddler again. I stuck with it because of it's importance to my daughter and also because I think it will help ease the transition when our baby is born. I couldn't imagine nursing an infant in front of her just a few months after taking her precious milk from her. To my surprise the series I've been writing on nursing my toddler has brought the joy back into our nursing relationship. As I began looking more into the nutritional benefits I determined to stick it out for longer nursing sessions. Although my soreness had decreased my daughter had become accustomed to shorter sessions because it was all the discomfort I could handle in my first trimester. Rather than a few sip sessions per day I have begun allowing her to stay a long as she wants and the results have been dramatic. She's more content and sweeter all day. I have fallen back in love with nursing my toddler! .-= Mommypotamus´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.mommypotamus.com/breastfeeding-myths-part-2/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=breastfeeding-myths-part-2" rel="nofollow">Breastfeeding Myths Part 2</a> =-.

My daughter went through phases when I never thought she'd wean, and by the end she was nursing every few days, then every few weeks. I remember nursing her in June, when I was in my first trimester with her sister, and I remember mentioning to a friend that it had been a few weeks since she last nursed in July or August. One day she asked to nurse, and it had been a few weeks, I was now in my second trimester, and I was pretty sure there was no milk left since she had been complaining about there not being much milk the previous few times she had nursed. She climbed up into my lap and began to nurse. Only, she had forgotten how. It was such a bittersweet time. It was apparent that my nearly 3 1/2 year old was now a big girl, and while I was looking forward to the time with the new baby, I was sad for the loss of that time with my big girl. It is nice to know that I was able to meet her needs until she was "full term" on her own. My story is very similar.
