Has anyone else already weaned their lo? My dd Lyla will be one on May 1st, and I'm yes/no ready! haha... so I'd like to start thinking about how to start, what should I do? She gets one ff/day.. sometimes more if Daddy is helping out... We are down to about 3/4 sessions per day due to solids and snacks. Please help. Any advice would be totally appreciated, as I'm clueless
Thanks!!
Re: Weaning at a year?
I weaned my son at 14 months. He was basically down to morning and bedtime nursing at that point. I started him on cows milk in a sippy cup at 1 year.
At first I limited each nursing session, he would pull off and not show much interest. As soon as he came off the breast the first time I'd end the session. Then I cut the morning feed altogether. Surprisingly he didn't even seem to mind! About a week later I cut the before bed nursing and he was fine with that too. I was more sad about it then him. Weaning ended up being way easier then I thought it would be! Good luck!
Thanks for your advice Do you use bottles at all? Lyla seems to rely on nursing for comfort also; did you find any problems with that? She'll come up to me upset or tired and really need to nurse... a cuddle and a binky just wont do it...
and I love your u/s photos!! They're smiling!! You must be a good mama
