Hey everyone!
So my little guy is turning one in a week (so bittersweet!) I exclusively breastfed from birth to 6 months, introduced solids a little after 6 months but have continued to breastfeed full-time. I am planning to start the weaning process when he turns 1.
He already drinks WAY less breastmilk than he used to because he is a big eater of solids. Lately when I pump at work, I don't get nearly as much as I used to. Since I work full-time and no longer desire to pump at work, I want to get him completely off of breastmilk and onto WCM and solids during the day. However, I plan to continue to nurse him first thing in the morning and right before bed for as long as possible as long as both of us are happy with the arrangement.
That leads to my question. I keep hearing 16-24 oz of WCM a day. Should I be giving less than that if I am still nursing him two times a day? Approximately how much milk should he be drinking?
I am also open to any other tips or advice about the transition! He has NEVER had cow's milk but he does like yogurt and is a good eater in general.

Re: WCM while still breastfeeding
i stopped pumping at work when DS was about 14 months, and once i used up the BM that i had frozen, i started sending him a cup of WCM with his lunch at daycare. now, at almost 20 months, he still nurses about 3 times a day on weekdays (more on weekends), and gets a cup (maybe 5 ounces) of WCM with his daycare lunch. occasionally he'll have a small glass of milk in addition to that. he also eats a lot of yogurt and is a good eater in general.
