@ Welcome to HPP, California, and well done on nursing twins, I’m in awe!

@ Mom on the Run, Child led weaning is my way of saying I’m too lazy to wean her ;-) Just joking, I’m not that bad! But my main plan is no breastmilk substitutes until after 2 years and then the old “don’t offer, don’t refuse” might start at some stage near 3 years, who knows!

Breastfeeding her while nearly vegan had whittled my 5'6" and 150-pound frame down to a gangly 113 so I was actually glad she stopped for all sorts of reasons. She just crawled away one day after an unsatisfying sip-and-tug, and never came back (to nurse, that is). My twins, born one year ago Monday, were weaned by ME when they were about 10 months old -- too much fighting and biting! In fact, they were so rough, they literally drew blood on several occasions. It's just so fascinating how each one is so different, and different in surprising ways. Hooray for veganism and breastfeeding! (I'm not vegan now, but wouldn't mind it again.)

You'll have to share more on the baby led weaning - I can't tell if my baby is trying to wean or simply just needs less fluid than I think. Great post!

Physical contact helps, too. And never let anyone talk you out of it. Thanks for sharing the food ideas. Very useful. May I add, a good rest is also needed. Physical contact helps, too.

Cows don't drink milk (apart from when they are calves) and they have no problem making milk! Indeed. Cows don’t drink milk (apart from when they are calves) and they have no problem making milk!
