Thanks for your lovely post Arcadia. I too love the excuse to take some time out when feeding DD .

Fleur - Is there an award for making a huge effort for so long? Because I nominate you . Wow @ expressing past 12 months! Thanks for your post . I guess I am happy to keep going for now, I'm just not sure when I'll not be happy anymore ITMS. I still think DD would be easy to wean . She happily drinks cows milk (I've given it to her a couple of times to save a tanty after she swiped her brother's cup of milk ) and doesn't feed for comfort, she'll push me away if I try feed her when she's cracked it .

Haha, thanks Boomba .

Thanks so much everyone for your thoughts, experiences and advice
