Abigail is 14 months old, and nursing about 6-8 times a day still, and she nurses to sleep as well. I have no intentions of weaning her; I practice child-led weaning; meaning the child nurses as long as she wants. My DD#1 nursed until she was over 4 years old. We'll see how long Abby nurses LOL. -------------------- ~~Mollie~~ Mom to Logan, Quentin, Ethan, Hannah, Kayla, & Abigail!

I nursed Dakota until she was about 14 months or so and pretty much let het decide when she was done. I told people it was something between me and my baby and they could butt out! Your awesome for sticking with it.

That's awesome! I want another baby too. I'm still waiting for my cycles to return & Abby is just about 15 months old.

It's OK to nurse while pregnant, if you didn't know that

No time limit at all, you can nurse your child as long as you want to! I've nursed a toddler through a pregnancy, then nursed to at the same time (tandem nursing). I did that for over 2 years, and then I got pregnant with #6, and they both weaned by the time I was around 15-16 weeks. My older daughter was over 4 years old then, and the other was over 2 years old.

Here's a great link to read about fertility while breastfeeding, & nursing during pregnancy:
