Well over a year for both kids (was still nursing them, including night nursing). My period returned once night nursing dropped down.

9-10m with each. Both were breastfed and started solids around 6-7m.
I didn't do anything to wean because I allowed each to self wean. I'd have pushed them to nurse til 12m because I had 0 desire to deal with the work or cost of formula. After that was fair game, though I preferred to get ds2 through the winter months...and all the bugs that come with it! But, luckily both decided they were done right when I was feeling that way too, 17-19m. They both just got done to a few key sessions. The night time one was last to go and we got rid of it by adding family snuggle and story time instead plus a sippy cup of water. During the day I would just go with the don't offer but don't refuse method. I have busy guys that usually wouldn't ask since there was playing to be done.
