yeah i reckon! DD1 who hadnt BF in almost 2 years bumped her knee or somethingorother just after DD2 was born and out of nowhere snuggled into my chest and put her hand down the top like she used to do back in the day when asking for a BF. i loved it and realised that it was more the comfort than the need to revive the act ITMS.
I weaned dd when ds was six weeks old due to severe thrush, and once I was feeling better dd did ask if she could have a try, but then decided not to at the last second. Even now I would let dd have a try but she toys with the idea and then decides it's for babies. I don't know of any toddlers who have seriously returned to the breast after weaning (oh maybe shanti's little girl) because they loose the ability to suck and then its sort of weird for them too to attach without actually drawing any milk itms?
I gave dd some ebm in a cup and she said it was yuck lol! All this within weeks of being weaned!
Dd has started putting her hand down my top again at times, but not searching for the nipple, just because 'it feels warm'.
