We finished breastfeeding in mid-August, so it's been almost two months. Today my daughter wanted to nurse, she climbed into my arms, lay down like she was being rocked, and started tugging at my shirt and top, pressing her lips to my breast through the fabric. I don't remember my son doing this after we stopped. I was a little worried, thinking she had forgotten everything, but it turns out she hadn't.
В каком возрасте перешли на один сон и как долго длился переход? Дочке завтра 1,5 года, у нас то оди…

I just take her off and that's it. Give her juice or kefir to drink, maybe she associates wanting to drink with breastfeeding.

Don't worry. You can empathize by saying, 'Yeah, she used to be little and drink milk. Then she grew up and the milk ran out.' And give her a hug. That's it 😉 It was just a flashback.

Maybe it's teething?

Eldest son. We spent the whole summer at the dacha (country house). I was wearing a swimsuit and a pink top. My son was 1.3–1.6 years old. When he started crying, we'd lie down on the couch, I'd pull down my top, and he'd latch on. Back in the city, in November, when he was 1.9, we finished breastfeeding. Autumn, winter, and spring passed. In the summer, we returned to the dacha, and I put on my favorite swimsuit and pink top again. One day, my son started crying, I put him on the couch, held him close, and he reached for my breast, puckering his lips, ready to latch. He suddenly calmed down, opened his eyes, and looked at me with a confused expression! Like, 'What's going on? What am I doing?!' So, after 7 months, he had already forgotten about breastfeeding, but the muscle memory remained and suggested this scenario when he was crying, on the dacha couch, in the pink top! And you say 2 months :)))

I weaned at 1.7 years, and at 3.3 years old, she still sometimes asks for it, although I weaned her in one day and without any fuss. A friend's son asked for it until he was 4. Small downsides of weaning late :)

Balaban Mihail I prepared mine for about a week. I didn't let him hang on too much before sleep so the milk would go down on its own. So I think after we went a couple of days without breastfeeding, there wasn't much milk left in my breasts anyway, which is why he wasn't that interested later.
