Can't count 1st child, my poor breastfeeding guinea pig as it wasn't a successful long term thing. 2nd child weaned at about 22 months when I was about 2 months pregnant with 3rd child. I was working part-time & this may have hastened the weaning. 3rd child weaned at age 3 about 1 month before the birth of #4. this was a much more gradual weaning & he did ask to nurse a couple of times after the birth of the baby but he was very easily put off & I think he may have once but he didn't really suck & lost interest.
