if you're happy to still be feeding her keep going but if you're getting to the point where you'd like to stop you can start working towards that too. Personally I'm a fan of extended breastfeeding and I've essentially allowed my kids to decide when to stop - I don't offer but if they ask/indicate they want it I let them have a feed. DD1 fed until she was 19 months, DS fed until he was 2yrs and 4 or 5 months and DD2 is still feeding (just turned 2). None of them tend to feed that often towards the end but the option is there if they want it, which tends to be first thing in the morning and when they're sick. I know that feeding this long isn't for everyone but it works for us and I'm happy to leave things up to them for the most part, although there's probably a point where I'd decide to force the stopping but we haven't reached it yet in the time I've been feeding :) you may find that, now you're pregnant, your daughter may self wean before your next child is born. This doesn't always happen, and I know that there are mums on here/mums who used to be members on here who have successfully tandem fed (feeding a newborn and a toddler), but DS weaned himself when I was about 5 months pregnant with DD2.
