I nursed all my kids and never pumped. By the time each was around 13-15 months old, we just naturally dropped the daytime nursing because we got busy with other things, they ate well at mealtime and had other snacks and regular milk in cups during the day. I continued to nurse all of them until at least 18-20 months old... the youngest is 22 months and still nursing a couple times a day - in the morning and evening. Most moms I know can drop the daytime pumping/nursings and continue to just nurse morning/evening for 6-12 months or longer with no problems.
