My ds is 3 years and 3 1/2 months. He still loves to nurse. We only nurse at home, and are now pretty much down to before bed with the occasional nursing in morning or early afternoon. However, I feel the end coming. Often he only takes a few sucks and then says that the milk is gone (it's still there, I can hand express it). Nursing him has been the longest nursing relationship that I've had. I've truly enjoyed it immensely. I feel that we are so close, no- soclose... I wouldn't trade nursing for anything. I think that it is the best relationship for mother and baby/child. I will be saddened as it draws to a close. Already once he's told me that he's done - boy did I cry. fortunately, he came back to me later that evening - whoooo. I'm trying to mentally prepare myself. I sense it's going to be happening soon.
Anyway, you shouldn't feel alone. I don't care if it shocks others that I'm still nursing. What do I care what others think. My baby comes first.
