@reneaandbaby, most studies show that kids usually stop feeling this need somewhere between 3 and 4 years. That's why some people are fighting with pacifiers in their "grown up" children's mouths. This reflex fades out on its own if you give it enough time and will provide all other breastfeeding-related activities like: good contact, cuddling, kissing, attention, support. All the things the child seeks when he/she comes to be with mama :) So if he/she gets all that even without breastfeeding (don't ever listen to those who say it's just food) - they will eventually let go peacefully :) It's very interesting topic. And it's even more psychology-related. But health pros matter a lot. For both: mom and kid, actually :) So any questions - ask and go wherever your heart leads you ☺️

@aubreysmommy10, it's actually really easy. I mean... I had to use formula from the 10th to approximately 70th day of by baby's life. And it was some awful nightmare. I started to sleep when we got back to breastfeeding and I finally felt the bond with my son. It feels great. Now I even can discuss it with him. My mom fed me till I turned 3 years old and I stopped it myself because she got pregnant with my sister and I didn't like the milk's taste anymore. That's what I'd like to have with my son: natural quitting (not sure if it has a special term). No tricks, no drama. I love being open and honest with him. :)

Great! I think it's the best way to go!! I couldn't imagine life without breastfeeding now ahaha @aubreysmommy10 ... I was thinking the same thing about @thriller.queen . Girl how did you do it ? I don't plan on stopping either but don't know how long the baby will want it

@reneaandbaby, yes! I love it and enjoy it very much n she loves it!!
@thriller.queen OMG really that's long!! congrats!! how does it feel to breastfeed that long??

Way to go! :) For us it's 2 years and 7 months of breastfeeding and I think it'll be over in my second trimester but I don't insist. It's really convenient for our family.

I'm right behind you!! Don't you love it?! I do 😊
