Clicky: BFers... when did you wean?

Re: Clicky: BFers... when did you wean?

  • I let DS decide when to wean.  And it was 2 weeks after h turned 12 months.

  • I was only able to do it for about two months. :( When I was about to go back to work I started to pump durring the times I would be at work and my milk started to dry up. I did something wrong and I was sad about it for a little while. When we have #2 I would like to try and BF longer.

    I love my crazy child!

  • Still going strong at 13.5 months.  My goal was 12 months, but DD really wasn't ready to wean.  I'm going to reassess things at the end of the summer.
  • I weaned at 6 months b/c DS was losing weight and I had almost no supply left.
  • We weaned when he was a little older than 14 months and the only reason I did was because I was approaching 20 wks pregnant.  I wanted a break before the next one.
  • At 15 mos, I was tired of pumping at work and tired of being on demand.  Throughout that month I dropped 3 sessions, and then after she turned 16 months (last weekend!) I dropped her night session.  I was kind of sad.  But like a PP said, I'm hoping to conceive soon, and I need a break.  I need a few months with my life back :)
  • 5.5 months, but not by choice. 

    I battled with low supply and did everything humanly possible to increase it, but when Ben was 5.5 months, my supply tanked.  :( 

  • He's 15 months today and I'm officially ready to wean. And I have no idea how to do it. I SAH and he still wants to nurse all.the.time.

    And he's a very, hmm, "spirited child" so I feel like this is going to be very difficult.

  • we started weaning after his 12 month WC visit. It was a 2-3 week process.

    I'm impressed that 34% are still b.f.ing!  I was kind of forced to wean, as DD was down to only 1 or 2 feedings a day when I had to take a med on which I couldn't b.f.  After that week, she was like "ew. what's that boob doing in my face?"  I wonder if she was going to self wean naturally?  Like the number of licks to get the tootsie roll center of a tootsie pop, the world may never know.
  • DD weaned herself at 6 months....once she could sit she didn't want to nurse.
