I bf my son until about 2 months ago, he was 16.5 months old, and I really only chose to wean him because I was 5 months pregnant, and it was starting to be very very uncomfortable on my breasts, and to hold him in the nursing position. The United States is one of the only countries in the world that has such a low nursing rate, and such a high rate of weaning before age one. Do we ever wonder why our (American) children have the highest rate of nuerological disease, add/adhd, obesity, diabetes, poor eating habts, and a million other conditions? The average world age of weaning is between 3 and 4, seriously! (granted our abundance of available and not always healthy food sources may have a big influence) Even over the border in Canada, pediatricians recommend that all babies be bf until age 2. It is the most precious gift you can give your child (other than the gift of life) and it will give him the proper nutrition, immuno, and developmental headstart he needs! It also has so many benefits for you, which I'm sure you're already aware of, having made it this long. But truthfully, be proud that you have been able and will continue to be able to do something that many women choose not to do, at the expense of their babies, simply because of a stupid social stigma. You are doing what your body, and your child's body are SUPPOSED to do! Keep nursing until he chooses to wean, or it becomes simply too much for you (lol), and until that day comes, enjoy your bonding with your baby. I cried and cried when my son went his first entire day without nursing. He wasn't ready, and I felt like such a bad mommy for forcing him to wean before he should have. You can't get that time back, once it's gone. Within about a week, my milk was completely gone, and it is still something I miss terribly!!! I'm expecting my second baby in about 8 weeks, so at least I'll be a nurser again soon! And this time (god willing I don't get pregnant again any time soon!) I'm going to nurse as long as I can!
