I may have said quite vocally that I would bf DD only until she could ask for it with words (after all, if she can eat a steak, what does she need bm for?)!

Turns out I was very happy to follow her lead. I adapted her bfing pattern as a toddler to suit my lifestyle (I was working and night feeds were not helping!), but she kept going. She was a committed bfer until almost four. In the end, she missed a few days bfing and I slightly adapted our routine to make it easier not to bf anymore. I was ready as well!

I guess it's like all parenting things though, you have ideas about what you will or won't do and find yourself adjusting these with what works for you and your child.
