Weaning

Does anybody have advice on weaning??? I asked this question on the breast feeding board and the women were rude to me about it. As much as I love BF it's caused me extreme anxiety and its time for me and my mental health to call it quits.

    People weren't rude to you.  They offered alternative solutions to weaning.  You didn't state why you needed to wean and I think if you did, you would not have gotten suggestions on how to continue to BF. 

    A lot of us read multiple boards, so probably not a good idea to talk about other boards being rude to you...

    I saw the post, and they were not rude at all.  However, they did not really answer the question either.  Maybe if you give more info you'll get more advice?

    Personally I don't think you needed to explain why you want to wean since you weren't asking advice on how to stick with BFing. I am glad you asked because my LO is 7 weeks and I am going to ask our pedi on Friday about possibly weaning because I am going back to work next week and don't know if I will be able to stick with EBFing.


    The breastfeeding board is typically for women who are breastfeeding. Noone was rude at all. It is a community of women who encourage breastfeeding. Without a backstory, they are going to do just that.

    I'm trying to wean too, because of pain, and I'm having a heck of a time. It's just a different pain at this point. I'm going to try cabbage leaves.

    I didn't read the other board, but when I stopped with my other kids I tried to get it over with quickly. I switched the baby entirely to bottles, of breast milk or formula, and no more nursing. I'd go as long as I could until I was really uncomfortable, then pump a little just for some relief.

    It was a pretty lousy week or so, but good luck to you.
