Here's his schedule for nursing this time:
Morning, upon waking up - around 10-30 mins (depending on how busy I am) There are times when he'd nurse back to sleep but there are times when he'd stay awake nursing until he's ready to get up and start the day. After the nursing session, I usually offer him water and light breakfast (usually fruits and cereals)
Noon -- after his bath and when he's gotten tired and sleepy
Noon or mid-afternoon, mid-nap - As I work, sometimes he'd wake up from his nap and ask to nurse again. I'm happy when he goes back to sleep because I'm able to go back to work again
We have lunch after he wakes up from his nap.
Late afternoon -- before dinner but just a short feed that lasts less than 5 mins.
At night when he's about to sleep (usually a long feed accompanied by a painful bite).
I know this schedule is quite frequent for a toddler at 28 months and realize we're nowhere near weaning. I would like our weaning experience to be as natural and gentle as possible with my baby's needs taken to account primarily. The main reason that I'm working from home is to breastfeed my baby as long as he wants, or at least until he no longer needs the comfort of my breasts whenever he's hurt or feeling weak.
Here are some more active weaning techniques.I like the idea of a weaning party when my nursling weans.
