I was aiming to get to 12months, but let DD take the lead. I thought she was weaning at 7months and was quite upset at the thought, but I think it was because I had my first period and I read somewhere that the related hormones can change the taste so i think she was just being fussy because of that because the week after, she was back to feeding normally.

She ended up weaning herself at 11months or so - we'd introduced a formula bottle as her last feed, because I coudln't express enough to cover a feed whilst I was at work, and then she slowly dropped her day feeds herself because she was too active to sit still.

As the pp's have said, just go with the flow, especially if you're enjoying it and its still working, but don't beat yourself up if you don't make your target.
