Although I've nursed 4 children I have yet to go through this My 1st started refusing the breast at 10 months and I managed to keep him nursing until just about a year when he just flat out refused. (In retrospect, I believe it is somehow related to his Autism and sensory issues.. I think he liked to nurse but couldn't stand the close contact)

With my twins, I nursed for 5 months and did have to supplement each baby after every feed... At 5 months my supply went to nothing almost over night. The boys dropped weight fast and I tried everything to make my supply come back. Nothing worked so I just gave up out of frustration.

Now Reece, LOVES the boob (almost too much, he's nursing about every hour around the clock LMAO) My supply did dip recently at 5 months again, Reece was only having 2 wet diapers in a 24 hr period . I have NO IDEA why it happened again... but we got over the hurdle and my supply is back where it should be. I can totally see this baby going 18 months-2 years My goal is a year, my personal limit is around the 2 year mark. I think by 18 months I'll only nurse when he asks and hope he just doesn't want to one day... Wishful thinking? LOL!
