Thank you all for responding. You all helped me so much.
What I think I am going to do (at least as of now) is continue until
he is 15 mos. If he tells me before then that he is done, then fine.
By 15 mos, I would either be (hopefully) pregnant or on my way to the
clinic. I asked dh last night how many months we would like to try
(unassisted) before going back to the RE. He responded with 3-4
months, which I was thinking too. So I think that is my breastfeeding
plan. I know that ds, as of right now, really enjoys bf and definitely
stills seeks it out if upset. Eventually we will have to find another
way to comfort him. I guess I can't be bf him when he gets upset after
his girl friend breaks up with him!
Butterflylvr-My ds did bite me too. He actually did it at the end of
every feeding. I would tell him no, but he would look at me and laugh.
I then tried putting him down right after being bit and walking away.
Wow did they have an affect on him. He did eventually stop.
