Breastfeeding until 2 is not as uncommon anymore as I thought. I breastfed our daughter until she was 21 months at which point she almost weaned herself. I think she only had breast milk once or sometimes twice a day towards the end. Soon after I stopped breastfeeding, I met some women who breastfed until their toddlers were 2 or 2.5. If I had met them earlier, I probably would’ve tried to stretch breastfeeding until our daughter turned 2. The funny thing is that I didn’t think I would be breastfeeding past 1 year because of the lack of support from a lot of people around me.

yeah, i go in and lay down with him at some point between 2 and 4am but that is so understandable! he’s soooo used to having us next to him that he wakes up alone…no guff that he wants someone there. he’s getting so good at it though that he gets back to sleep pretty quickly.

i am still breastfeeding as well. (something that many people think is crazy! but not me!) and for the most part he’ll go back to sleep wthout the boob but sometimes he is hungry and that’s the easiest thing. so on he goes and then he rolls away and falls asleep.

this seems to work for us!

i’m glad that little Ovo is happy and that she got you so close for so long!
