    Yay Isadora. I'm glad to hear the transition was easy for you both. Sometimes weight gains vary a lot at different times, so don't count yourself out

    HotI DS switched to a quick kiss when he weaned

    m2boys, well done to you too! They do get over it with time, though it seems hard to imagine right now. My DS was the same and yet by 12 months he wouldn't feed to sleep any more except when very, very tired during the day. Actually made life a lot harder DD is starting to go off it a bit now too. ohwell.

    You must be busy busy busy stark - are you back at work already? It's great your kids still have a stay at home parent.

    Nice work Sterla, must be a very nice feeling.

    That is a long time Elf I'm pushing 3 years now, all up

    Hoti-how cute your dd is doing the kiss. That's adorable.

    Elf-you're an inspiration!

    Mumof2boys- my dd actually dropped her night just before bed feed before she weaned. She was previously fed to sleep each night. I think they do it on their own when they are ready. That said my ds doesn't feed to sleep other than his overnight feeds and I've been putting him down awake just before bed because he's full and burped and tired.

    Madb-yep, been back at work full-time for a few weeks now. Ds is 7 weeks old today. I'm self employed with great staff so have flexibility and am already in a great routine of ebm and I've been ducking home mid afternoon when ds wakes to feed or dh will bring him down for me. Ds doesn't wake and want feeding immediately like dd used to so it makes it easier for us.

    Does everyone find they leak on the other side when feeding? I've forgotten how long it lasts? I think with dd it was quite a few months?

    Hi ladies. Well, I think DD & I have finished after 22.5 months. This is wayyyy longer than I could have ever expected so I'm pretty pleased. The initial plan was to get to 24 months and see what happens from there, but being pregnant now, it seems I have little milk left and DD just plays and comes on and off. DS gave up when I was 3 months pregnant with DD too, so it seems that's my limit for feeding in pregnancy I'm glad for my boobies to be having a little break before #3 gets here in May.

    Congratulations Laranna! Same thing happened with me - DS weaned at 22 months when I was pregnant with DD.

    Enjoy your time off .

    Poppy has been great with her feeding and being able to latch despite the engorgement

    Well, we're just starting out and things so far have been going really well. I've had a little bit of a cracked nipple on one side, but that's healing nicely and Alex is such a settled cruisy baby it's incredible

    Looking forward to getting to know you all as time goes by...
