(1/2) “With my first daughter, we had a really rough start. She had a lip tie and a tongue tie, so it was really pretty painful for the first couple of months. We just kept nursing, and eventually it got better. She ended up breastfeeding till she was around three. With my second daughter, it went a lot easier from the very beginning. She didn’t have the tongue tie, and I had more experience, so I knew what I was doing a little more. My hope is that she will wean within the next year, which would make her three and a half. I wouldn’t ever cut her off and say “you’re done,” but I will encourage her to start weaning. That’s what I did with my oldest, I just kept putting off nursing and encouraging her to go play or do something else, and she slowly tapered off.”
