    • Hug

      From suzyhopes July 2

      I am doing child led weaning as well, though I have to admit, I am "aiming" for the 2 year mark. It wouldn't be an issue except by chest is so large and I really want to be able to do the things I did before. (running etc.) and I can't because they're so big. I do feel a little guilty for thinking that way, that I'm being selfish, but I can't help it.

    • Hug

      From suzyhopes July 1

      Usually 2-3 during the workweek and anywhere from 2-8 on the weekend or if they're sick! I agree, there's nothing to calm a kid down more than the boob!
