Babies: 9 - 12 Months

I think tomorrow may be DD's las nursing session :(

We are down to one in the morning... I really don't think she is getting much and it recently started getting really painful. Since she is turning 11 months I thought that would be a nice number to be done at but I honestly wish I had enough to keep going :(.?

For those who stopped... how did you do it? did you wait until your LO refused the boob or did you just stop offering??

?

  • DD doesn't seem even close to stopping. She even "snacks" during the day sometimes and she hasn't done that in months.  I don't know when we'll stop. It makes me sad just thinking about it.

  • I am where you are at. He nursed one time today. He is getting breastmilk in a bottle until he is 1 though. (We will mix it with whole milk in a few weeks)

     I'm so sad! I am going to miss it terribly.

  • I weaned DD at a year.  I would replace a nursing session with EBM that I had frozen.  Then after a while I would substitute whole milk and part EBM....then we eventually went to all whole milk. 

    Also, when I weaned DD, she only nursed before bed.  Everything else was in a sippy cup.

  • We were down to once in the morning and once in the evening until last Friday.  She bit me hard both in the morning and the evening so I decided to be done.  My DD is a little over 11 months.  I am kind of sad about it as I wasn't quite ready for it - I had no idea that last Thursday was our last nuring session.  I have had engorgement since then and some leaking.  The right side is worse because that side always made more milk.  I just wish I could skip this part and just be done.  It has been a little tough on her too - she didn't seem to care the first couple of days but last night and tonight have been rough.  I almost went back to nursing last night because she woke up in the middle of the night and wouldn't calm down.  But I didn't want to have to go through this all over again and part of me was ready to be done.  Good luck!
