I get a lot of raised eyebrows when we're out in public. All I can offer is this: COLD TURKEY.

Baby #4 had to forcibly weaned at age 12 months, as I had to start a non-safe medication. That was a nightmare and I'm sure he will spend years in therapy because of it. Dora also was forcibly weaned at age 3 1/2!!!! It wasn't as traumatic for her, obviously, as she had some reasoning abilities, but still, she is obsessed with my breasts and breasts, in general, to this day! She talks about nipples and milk and breasts all the time. So when you're having a hard time, just remember what might happen if you let him nurse even longer. My friend's son even would go so far as to kiss and cuddle her breasts when she weaned him at age 4 (not like she wanted him to, but he was so pathetically sad about being weaned). So though I totally advocate extended breastfeeding in theory, I honestly think weaning by age 2 is probably best (at least for us moms who get weirded out when our kids, who are old enough to talk in complete sentences, want to do and say strange things about our breasts).Maureenskhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09693317239250946604noreply@blogger.com
