Weaning?

My baby will be 10 months tomorrow, and I don't want to start weaning until 12 months. However, I'm wondering what the best way to go about weaning is. I'm planning on feeding her goat's milk.

Should I introduce a little goat's milk during meal times now, to get her used to it before I start eliminating bf sessions?

If any of you have experience weaning, could you let me know what you did? Anything you regret? Thank you!

    My LO is the same age as yours and she decided to wean herself a couple weeks ago. I am determined to get to one year though, so I am EPing now. Anyway, we went to the pedi about this last week and he said I can start to give her a little WCM (or goat) at 11 months. He said I could start by mixing an oz or so into her bottle. I have been asking around IRL and most people say their BF LOs take WCM without a problem.

    So in another month I will probably start giving her WCM in a sippy once a day and adding it to bottles occasionally.

    That sounds like a good plan to me, the starting with one sippy cup a day of WCM or goat's milk. I guess we'll just see where it goes from there.
