Although your husband feels that it will only get worse, this is unlikely in that all children naturally wean. He's never too old to "nurse," but there reaches a time when he is too old to breastfeed. You are always comforting your child, but you will at some time wean him from breastfeeding. The age of weaning varies considerably from child to child and really depends upon the point when one or both members of the nursing pair no longer enjoys it. Remember, your child is young for a very short time. The time in your arms, at your breast, and even in your bed is a very short time in the total life of the child, but memories of love and availability last a lifetime.
