What silly advice from your MCHN! There is no "right" feed to drop last - in fact usually our kids choose it for us anyway and they are all different. DS1 dropped his night feed last, DS2 dropped his morning feed last. That was just what they did. Whatever works for you and your DS is the right thing to do.
It is fine to keep one feed going for as long as you like (and your DS!). DS2 had one feed a day for months before he totally weaned!
thanks everyone, I don't know why I doubt myself but why is it the minute a "professional" or someone in the know says something we assume it's gospel, I realy need to work on question stuff that sounds weird to me.
Oh well I will hang on to this night feed as long as Cooper will let me it has been such a special time for us and I know people who don't have kids or didn't BF for what ever reason can't believe I want to keep going but I will be so sad when it stops.
Thanks everyone again really appreciate your posts.
KimmyF - with both my kids when they get close to weaning we can sometimes go a few days between feeds and there is still milk there. Also when I was working and BF DD would have cows milk at DC for the 2 days I worked but be fully BF at home. I think when you are feeding older bubs you can be a lot more flexible without affecting your milk supply too much/
