Hi, Epacris,

Hope you enjoyed that glass of red last night - but don't be so hasty. Self weaning? I don't think so. but I bet you have had friends and family tell you this is what she is doing.
At this age you could easily wean her if you want. It seems relatively common that babies are less interested in breastfeeding around the 11-12mnth mark. But self weaning? No. I suggest that you take the approach of always offering - never refusing, but never showing that her refusal upsets you in any way. She's just saying "no thanks not now" as politely as she knows how. Doesn't mean she won't want it in a little while. I wonder if you would consider dropping the bottles she has at childcare and just giving her a sippy cup of water or milk there too? She doesn't need it. Even if she is having 1-2 feeds per day - you'll be surprised at how much she is getting.
A quite weekend of just mum and bub hanging out together. A bath together (those boobies are awfully hard to resist just "there" like that.
I reckon, if you just stick with it - we'll be having the same conversation same time next year.
