Elisheva makes the point that it is hard to tell if a weaning is truly child
led. I have to agree. Ten yrs ago my son "weaned" at about 10 mos of age. I
realized much later this was a nursing strike becoz of some things I was
doing (not realizing then) to the detriment of bf. Live and learn,
remember?} Now I have a 5.5 yr old who has not nursed in a few days (is she
weaned? not sure yet?) but sometimes I encourage her not to becoz I am very
sore when she nurses. So this is not truly child led either.
