Things were different for me since I didn't demand feed. Well, I did when DD was little, but she settled into a routine that we then stuck to and gradually dropped feeds. We stopped altogether when she was 15 or 16 months old. The only hard thing was when I said no more night feeds for occasional night wakings.

I got lots of negative comments from my family. This was even when we were just doing a morning and night feed that was a private affair that no one witnessed. It was kinda funny when I was told that I really needed to stop feeding her when I actually had a few weeks earlier! I don't know why it was such a problem for my family.

Anyway..... something I thought might be useful. DD still likes my boobies. She pats them and sticks her hand down my top and cuddles them. She isn't looking for a feed, she just likes them.

Maybe boobie cuddles don't need to include a feed if you don't want them too.
