Restarting breastfeeding as a toddler?

Just keep expressing and keep giving it to him as long as possible if he takes it and you can mix it with his food if he won’t take liquid breast milk anymore. You will see how long you will manage like this… if it meant to stop it will and don’t be sad about it. At least you kept trying and didn’t give up easily… I be happy if I have milk and can breast feed till mine is 12months old but if milk stops coming there is nothing I can do. With my first son milk stopped when he was under 4 months old, I was very sad about it then x
Toddlers can understand more but don't always listen, especially if the behavior illicits an interesting reaction from you 🫠
Sometimes kids wean themselves early, sometimes they go long. My kid started weaning himself to only morning and evening bottles at around 10 months, then lost interest in formula and only wanted cows milk at a year old, and now by 17 months he'll have a bottle before bed, but that's about it. And it was his choice too, just loves solids and prefers to have his tummy full of solids. Some kids just wean themselves, and if he's refusing to latch he could just be done tbh
Honestly honey it sounds like he doesn't want to continue if it's causing him and you that amount of stress. Could you still express for him into a cup? I've know people to breastfeed untill 3yrs of age but not to stop and start again. 🤔
