I nursed DD for 3 yrs. 1 month. DS for 3 yrs. 4 mos. It was pretty much continuous nursing because I was already 6 mos. pregnant with DS when I weaned DD.

I don't think I would have held out so long except that the allergist told me to nurse them until they turned three. I wanted to do everything possible to help them outgrow their food allergies. They each outgrew some food allergies by 3 but not all. Don't know if the nursing had anything to do with it or not, but I tried to follow the doctor's advice.

DD used to ask to "noosh" and DS would demand "nuh-nuh" followed by "other side nuh-nuh" smile
