I think 4 weeks without mummy milk means we have weaned now. The last time he asked for some he kept coming off and asking for more, then signing that he was thirsty. I explained to him that when he was smaller he needed much more milk but now he is a bigger boy he doesn’t need so much, and one day he won’t need any. He hasn’t asked for it since. I very carefully didn’t have a ceremonial last breastfeed because I knew I would cry my eyes out. He was not feeding for a few days at a time towards the end and even then just once at bedtime and on one side. It has been a slow and gradual self weaning.
So, there’s an era over.
