Hi

At 12 months my babygirl was still breastfeeding:
when she woke up (before I went to work),
when I got home from work at about 5pm
and about 2 times during the night.

It wasn't until the long weekend last October when she was 14 months old that DH got up to her during the night and over 2-3 nights we stopped the night feeding because I was so tired going to work & feeding 5-6 times during 24 hours, having to get up twice at night.

Somewhere between 14-18 months she stopped the afternoon feed - maybe I just stopped offering it and she only had a feed in the morning when she got up.

Then during the long weekend in January when she was 18 months, I stopped offering the feed every morning, and she only seemed to look for it every second day and then eventually stopped. She would probably have continued if I kept offering....she still talks about it.

It was funny though, if she had missed a morning feed one day, the next day she would be standing at the shower waiting for me to get out to have her feed! Very cute!

One thing I did notice, was that if I mentioned to co-workers etc that she was still breastfeeding they would say 'How old is she?' and 'She is still feeding because you don't want to give it up' and a friend of mine had a similar experience. But like I said to my MIL, I don't have to stop feeding, because it isn't bad for her and to be honest I do miss it, especially knowing I won't have any more babies.

Lastly, when DD started daycare at 12 months, she got sick about a month later and wouldn't eat anything except have breastmilk, and so fed every 3 hours again all day every day when I was at home so they still change if something else is going on.

Goodluck and enjoy!
