So I decided to start weaning my two year old son, which in my world means that he will actually be weaned sometime between now and age 4!
Anyway, my first plan was don't offer if it's not asked for. My second plan was only nurse at certain times of the day and only in specific areas of the house. This helps eliminate the nursing while on the phone, nursing while typing, and the infamous nursing while mommy is stuck on the toilet routine!
So yesterday, I thought things were going well until I looked down while I was posting a thread on the forum. To my surprise, my son had climbed into my lap and was snuggled up nursing away. I was so involved in typing that I hadn't even noticed.
Nursing has become so natural that I can't imagine what life will seem like without it. So even though I am "weaning", I plan to enjoy every last moment.

Anyhow, we practice Natural Family Planning, so I am nursing him until he decides to wean as this helps to naturally space out our family. We probably still nurse about every 30 minutes to an hour when he's awake and still several times a night. Thank goodness we do the family bed thing or I'd never get enough sleep!
