Weaning

My daughter will be one in 2 weeks and I am getting ready to try and wean her. She already takes a bottle/formula, but when she is tired, sick or just fussy, she just wants to BF and I am worried about how she will react to not getting nursed. 

Any suggestions/tips would be helpful!

Re: Weaning

  • You can try replacing nursing with rocking, reading a book or cuddling. Have your partner do more comforting since your LO won't associate him with nursing. When we weaned off multiple night feedings, DH had to comfort LO because it just made things worse if I went in and didn't nurse him. We still use a pacifier which helps a lot, DH can cuddle LO and give him the paci. Here's some info from kellymom on weaning. Good luck!
