Yes thank you, I have decided thanks to these conversations that i will wait till she is ready because that is our quality time and my relaxation time in the evening and morning before a long day of work. Though my husband questioned if i will still be breast feeding her at 5 years old.

You have 3 choices, child led weaning, mommy led weaning, or a combination mommy/child. I have always done a combinations weaning. If there is one feeding I can't stand nursing anymore, we give it up when they hit about 12 months, if there is one time the baby still loves to nurse, we give that one up last. As solids and juices are introduced, you baby is slowly weaning, you can take up to another year or two before you wean, they now recommend you nurse until age 2 (min. 1 year) I have always recommend at least 18 months from things I have read. It is easier to nurse older babies over 1, as they don't need to nurse quite as often. Also when they are teething or sick, for instance Briana had the flu last week, I would have been afraid to feed her solids, least she choke when throwing up, and juice makes you throw up more, so it was nice to nurse her, and she got well fast. Does this help? ml ----- Original Message ----- From: Concepcion Garcia <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: bfing <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, August 16, 2004 2:53 PM Subject: [bfing] Re: weaning HELLO THIS IS MY FIRST TIME ON THIS SITE.

My DD was only BF'd until 3 months and after I quit she seemed to get sick non stop. I don't know if it is coincidence or not. The daycare Brenden just started going to has hand food mouth going around and so far *knock on wood* he has not gotten it. I'm hoping the fact that he is still BFing will help! Another perk of BFing!! :-) ML <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: With thought Briana was going to wean herself at about 11 - 12 months, but then at 12 months she got started again, and nurses almost as much as her sister. Whenever she is sick or teething, she nurses nonstop. Daddy is proud how fast they get over being sick, we all got the flu, Briana first, but she got over, all 3 boys, and Anabelle never got sick, I was sick too, and dh thinks my antibodies were in Anabelle that is why she never got it, and sister barely had it. All my kids were over it in 24-48 hours, where lots of people had it for 4 days. And 2 of my boys had not been sick in several years before last week. ml --- You are currently subscribed to bfing as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to %%email.unsub%% _____ Do you Yahoo!?
