i fed DD 1 till 2 years 10 months. i thought she would self ween because i was pregnant but it didnt seemt o put her off, then i thought she would stop once i had the baby, nope!! we night weened while i was pregnant, that was probably the hardest bit, getting her used to going back to sleep when she woke without feeding to sleep. then we cut back to just the morning feed and a feed before the afternoon sleep and at bed time. it worked well for us and at that age she would take a drink and a snack instead of a feed if we were out or it wasnt nap time. if your happy to keep feeding then do it, as much as i think BFing shouldnt be forced indoors once you get to a certain age, if you feel uncomfortable about it then maybe try to save it for when you are somewhere you feel comfortable to relax and enjoy it. it doesnt last forever, you wont be breastfeeding a 15 year old as some people would have you think. dd still recalls with great fondness her breastfeeding days!
