January 2013 Moms

XP: Weaning question: decrease daytime bottles?

Hi ladies,

I posted this on the breastfeeding board, but didn't get much of a response. Just wondering if any of the Jan13 mamas have any experience with this scenario.

DD is 9 months old and EBF with solids. I want to continue BF as much as possible until she is one, then plan to stop pumping at work and only BF in the morning and at night. She currently nurses when she gets up, gets 3 4-5 oz. bottles of BM at daycare, and nurses twice in the evening.

DD always finishes her bottles at DC, but I've noticed her nursing less and less in the morning and evening. I know it's normal for them to start cutting back on BM as they start to eat more solids, but I would rather she cut down on her bottles and continue to nurse well at home. Should I be manipulating this by sending less milk to DC? TIA!
