When did you go down to 3 nursing sessions?? Right now I'm still at 4. But I have a freezer stash and wanting to use it up. I'm thinking of doing her afternoon session with breast milk in a cup. Which she drinks great out of.
Any shared experiences are appreciated.

Pretty much this. She still nurses about the same, but has upped her real food intake.

He nurses between 4-5 times during the day (he STTN). We are trying to get down to just 4 for now (giving up the 4:30pm feeding). I think he can do this. Then we will work on the 10:00am feeding and go from there.
I'm back to work now, so all but 2 of his nursing times are replaced by bottles of bm during the workweek.
This is pretty much the same for us. Usually 5 times if I'm with her. I work full time, so during the week we just do AM & PM with bottles at daycare.
DD isn't fond of solids.
I weened Taylor at 14 mo and she still nursed 6-8x a day then. She took way more comfort in nursing than nutrition I believe.
I don't think I got down to three with DD1 until after a year.
DD2 usually does 4 sessions over the course of the day, and the equivalent of one more over the course of the night. I'm waiting to see if she wants to nurse more during the day since we're finally cutting out the night feed.

Oh good grief. She didn't ask about cutting out BM. She just wants to do it in a cup. Climb down off the soap box.
Ethan has been at 4 sessions since he was around 5 months. He just takes in a LOT in one session. I'm talking to the pedi tomorrow about what I need to do to start weaning him, and the afternoon session will be the first place we start. I'm thinking I'll do what you said and start letting him have a sippy of BM and go from there.
