BF mommas...

in April 2011 Moms

so i was EBF for the first 5 months then introduced formula bottle at night so i could measure how much he was getting - seemed to help with sleeping  a  little bit.

we've started solids and i've been starting to intro a bottle during the day as well usually around noon and nursing in between. i have to say - it's been nice to give him formula and although i've been pumping sometimes to keep up my supply i enjoy letting DH or my parents feed him if DS is with them.

anyone else starting to wean and how have they found it personally for yourself??

    I'm not yet! Probably at a year we'll start weaning, since I SAH. We did start solids in the last month, though, and he's been doing really well with those, and his naps are starting to solidify, but I think it's just his age.

    I'm really glad the changes are working well for you! Happy mamas are healthy mamas. :) Are you going to keep on nursing along with the formula or wean completely?

    I gave dd her first bottle of formula on Saturday.  With ds, I didn't give him any formula or cow's milk until one year, and it wasn't that bad at that time.  This time, with two kids and "that particular class"  (in school, I am a teacher) I am excited to not pump, or only pump one time.  I am just so drained from being someone else's food source.  The fact that I can give some formula really lightens my stress.  So yes...I've slowly started, and I'm enjoying it (although, for me, it was a rough decision, as I had a hard time letting go of being in control and being her food source...emotional and all, but I am excited!)

    DD has been doing solids for fun once in a while, but is primarily BF. We're not planning to start weaning til 1 year, and that's just when I'll stop pumping (unless she has issues with cow's milk) but I'll still nurse at home til she's done.

    This is mostly me, too. We do some solids each day, but he's mostly BF. I'm going to pump at work until 1 year, and I'll nurse at home until he's done.
