no bf in 4-5 days, maybe weaning
My daughter will be 5 in October and has not nursed in about 4 days
now. Maybe it's 5 days, I didn't start keeping count til it was too late to remember which day it was. She has only nursed at bedtime for a few minutes for the past year. I haven't particularly enjoyed bf with this child but I knew it was best, especially w/ a high needs child, to let her wean herself, and it looks like that's finally what is happening! In the past few months she's spent the night a few times with my SIL who has a 5 year old daughter(June was her first night away from home!) and spent the night with my MIL so it hasn't even been an issue to miss a night here and there, but this is the longest she's gone so many nights in an row with just rocking with me and not nursing at all.

Congratulations on nursing so long and weaning so gently! :) I think this will be me & miss 3 by the end of the year. Amy |

With my kids we had quite a number of times where they went that long, then asked again. --Betsy |
