Well done Rainy! You have done an awsome job feeding your little man. Sorry i don't know the answer to your qn either...... but have wondered the same thing......
He could well want to pick it up again when the baby comes. Once that yummy newborn milk comes in he might want some of it! Perhaps still offer now & then to remind him he's welcome to it. He might just be weaning because he mightn't be getting much during this stage of your pregnancy.
I was thinking more of between now & then. Just to keep reminding him he's welcome to it so he doesn't lose the knack. Guess it depends on why he's weaned. If you think he was ready, then I guess just let it be, but if you think the pg has kinda hurried him then perhaps just keep it open so that when the milk is back in fully he still knows what to do. Does that make sense?
Don't really know. hehe. I would think there'd be colostrum or something there. If it was me I'd probably just offer a sleepy comfort feed now & then I know that there wasn't much there for DS, but he was still feeding to sleep at that stage, so wasn't feeding for the milk, which is probably why he didn't wean. I often wonder if DD would feed through a pregnancy coz she doesn't use feeding for comfort like that, so perhaps once the milk diminished she might give it away.
I don't really know what advice to give. I can only go by how I would feel if weaning happened for me. I'd still offer it and hope the interest picks up again when bub arrives.
But it sounds like you wouldn't mind the break between now & then. Perhaps just enjoy that break and see what happens
