That's a great point that Kristi had.. my son, who is 14 months, usually nurses to go to sleep for his nap and at bedtime and MAYBE once more during the day.. so that's, at most, 3 times, and it's usually for less than 15 minutes each time.

That said, Sam will be 18 months when the new little one is born, and at that point, she might be nursing a whole lot less than she is right now, so maybe it won't be difficult at all.<BR/><BR/>I absolutely share your opinions about having a baby-led end to nursing. Isabella showed a big lack of interest in nursing for very long during each session at about 10 months. I nursed her until she was 13 months, but for the last month or so, it was only once a day. Perhaps by the time you actually have to make this decision, Sam will make the decision for you.Kristihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03792735154830422231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4117987767666639342.post-78279567083655075272007-12-13T06:57:00.000-08:002007-12-13T06:57:00.000-08:00I have never tandemed (is that a word?) nursed, bu...I have never tandemed (is that a word?) nursed, but I am currently nursing my 14 month old and have no plans to stop until he stops. I have the same feelings as you with nursing... and am actually having some issues now because I want to get pregnant, but I don't want my nursing relationship to end. I plan to tandem nurse, if I have to, and even if my kiddo is weaned, then regresses back to nursing again once a sibling is born, I would be fine with that. Okay enough about me.. my suggestion is to go with what feels right to you. All the comments from other people about nursing so far haven't changed your mind about nursing, so why should anyone's comments about nursing 2 change your mind? And you may even think you want to wean your child, but then what happens when the new baby comes and you tandem nurse and it's as special and wonderful as nursing one? You didn't know how much you'd love nursing your first child, so how will you know how much you'll love (or hate) nursing 2? And as a side note, I have also read parts of Adventures in Tandem Nursing and am involved in my local La Leche League... maybe you could find a LLL group (if you haven't already) and maybe someone in the group will be tandem nursing, or have done so it the past and you can get advice from them. Hope my babbling helps! Good luck and congratulations! StaceyStaceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12212784943901832714noreply@blogger.com
