Do babies stop breastfeeding on their own ?

My daughter naturally stopped on her own! I’ve been nursing her for 2 years as well! Just give it time. Now I have to wean her off the bottle she can’t go to sleep without a bottle of milk most nights either
Some do
Maybe a cup with water a cuddle and tuck in
@Neha she started daycare long back hence the daytime feeds stopped with it. Only when she wakes you up during the night. And yes, I am still making milk. The supply isn’t stopping 😅
@Susan good to know that :)
@Tara she throws everything away and cries and cries 🥲
Haha lucky you (?) lol I was very sad when my supply stopped with both my kids. But at the same time was quite relieved 😅 just give it time. Or try the water cup cuddle method! Hopefully it helps for you! Maybe it’s just your body warmth that she needs!
@Neha yes, I think I am her pacifier! But thank you Neha 🙂
I went away on vacation for a week and my youngest stopped as he was very much like that.
I was in a very similar situation. I was only able to get him to night wean when I went on a work trip. I was gone for 4 nights. Night 1 was hard on dad and there were a few early mornings, but after that, he never nursed at night again. We started to keep a snack in the bedroom though because sometimes he was genuinely hungry and it stopped him from having early mornings.
@Samantha vacation seems like an answer to me 🤭
Are you still making milk or does she just comfort feed? My son weaned himself off as my supply just depleted when he was 16-17m old. Babies usually wean themselves off when supply stops since they don’t get anymore milk. Does she go to daycare ? She could also be going thru separation anxiety.. if that is the case maybe she just needs more time. Sorry this wasn’t helpful!
