Nervous about weaning, please help!

D&D4Ever7

Hi ladies, my DS is almost 11months old and I nurse him 4 times a day.  I currently work full time and nurse him at noon.  I plan to wean him from the noon feeding in a month, but really nervous about it.  He stopped taking bottles at daycare around 6 months, so I nursed him and he ate solids rest of the time.  He is now taking a few sips from sippy cups, but not enough to keep him hydrated.  The only time he really drinks is when I nurse him.  He is great at eating finger foods.

I have to stop feeding him at noon because my work is getting busy and I cannot get everything done that I need to some days.

If I stop going to see him at noon, will he start drinking more from sippy cups?  Any advice will be greatly appreciated. TIA

My son just turned a year and like yours only takes a few sips from a sippy, and a lot of that he spits out. I give him EBM in a bottle with his meals, usually 1 1/2-2 ounces (Flame away!) but I cut the nipple hole wider so the flow is fast. He has no interest in taking a regular bottle, but when it comes out fast, he gulps it down. It's worth a try if you want him to take more liquids.

Does he drink water from a sippy cup?  My LO was slow to learn a sippy cup and now will take water from it but not BM.  She actually had better success with a straw cup at first.  Hydration can be from water too.

I still give my LO bottles too (to the PP).  :-)

I send one cup with water and another cup with formula to daycare.  I nurse him at 7am, 12pm, 4:30pm, and 8pm.  Sometimes he gets up at night and I nurse him.  He eats plenty of solids.
