If you weaned one nursing session at a time...or plan to...

When you get to the final two, morning and before bed, which do you think is best to cut next? Right now I feel like I'd really like to get rid of the morning one first but I'm not always home in the evenings so skipping both sounds painful. And a positive of nursing in the morning is being able to lay in bed and half sleep a little bit longer instead of having to get up right away to go downstairs for breakfast. What worked best for you or what do you think you'll do when the time comes? I think I'd really like to get down to one a day here in the next couple weeks and then be completely down w/in maybe 6 weeks? It's unfortunate timing and maybe a little selfish but I'd really, really, really like a little break before #2 comes along and I get to start all over again. Plus I'm worried that if I don't wean soon enough, DD will want to nurse again with the new baby and I'm honestly just not interest in tandem.

  • I plan on cutting out the morning session; he seems to be less interested in it lately anyway, so I figure it might be easier on him.

  • I cut out the evening session fairly successfully in the past few days.  Like you, I love cuddling and nursing in bed in the morning.  A lot of times, he goes back to sleep for me on the weekends, so I didn't want to give this one up.  I thought he would be worse in the evenings, but DH has been giving him his bottle and he has been doing well.

  • Thanks for answering ladies. I'm surprised no other BFers have anything to add though...there used to be a time when there'd be many helpful responses to a question like this. :o/
