With my first, when someone asked me how long I intended to breastfeed I remember (only half jokingly) answering, "At least until he's in college"! It's hard to let them go, but on the other hand it was nice to 'get back my body' for a bit!

Although he didn't bite, he would nurse for all of 3 seconds and then want to leave. I was able to nurse him at night for about another week, then he started refusing that, too. I know it's a sad thing, although I suppose it's good that we allow them to wean when they are ready...the whole 'natural weaning' deal and such.
