I was talking to a mother at the playground today. She was born in Korea and raised here in the States.
Somehow we got to talking about reflux and she mentioned how she was able to wean her son from breast feeding.
She told me that her son was 2.5, and in order to get him to stop asking to feed, she would put chili oil on her nipples.
She said it was the only thing that worked (she'd tried lemon juice, vinegar). And the part that had me in stitches is that her son told her "mama, you taste like kim chee!"

. As far as weaning ... I never put anything anywhere. Just a "not anymore" and gentle offer of something else. There were some rough nights with Aidan but Thomas got up and walked with him. 
I always find it helpful to know that others have breastfed their children for extended lengths of time. I just weaned DD at 23 months, and it was bittersweet. I feel relieved to be done, but at the same time sad that that experience is over.
