Need help: Weaning from breastfeeding

Futuremrssoll

Hey Ladies-

?? ? I would like to start to wean Eli from breastfeeding. ?How do I do this? ?He eats around 3 "solid" meals a day, adn breastfeeds between 5-6 times. ?It seems like the most imporant ones for him are the first AM feeding and then the final PM feeding. ?The AM feeding being about 10 min, then the rest during the day 5-10, more on the 5 min. side. ?Can you offer me help?

Thanks!?

We did it over a really long period of time, so I'm not a ton of help, but I really like this link - it gives tons of suggestions, techniques and FAQs that are helpful!

What worked for me was to wean every feeding one at a time...so if you start tomorrow, cut out the second feeding ...go with that for a few days or a week and then cut out the next...and so on.  Then I did the night time feeding and lastly the morning feeding.  this may not work for everyone, but I was very successful.  Cameron was a little older than one when I did this and he did just fine...now he doesn't even know he was breastfeed.
