At almost 18 mos., Finn shows no signs of weaning. He usually wakes up around 5:00 a.m. and nurses off and on until he wakes for the day around 7:00. He nurses again before nap, and once more before bed. He would nurse about four or five more times a day if I let him, but anytime he asks, I distract him with other activities. I find he asks more often if he's bored or just wants a little attention/cuddling, so I don't feel too guilty about it. I'm not sure when we'll wean (in a few more months?), but I am pretty sure I'll be the one initiating it.

That makes me feel a lot better. Thank you. I've started trying to distract K but he doesn't have much interest in food so I worry about him getting enough to eat. I guess if he gets hungry enough, he'll eat.

I'm aiming for weaning between 18 and 24 mo. I'm okay with that. I think.
