Which session to cut?

Its time to start weaning. I played with the idea of continuing to nurse, but little missy really needs to sleep better and bf'ing is making me drop weight. During the day we're down to wake up, before naps, and before bed. She doesn't nurse much in the morning if we get moving, naps have never happened without nursing, and nighttime is sometimes not even a minute. So I'm most inclined to drop either the morning or evening session. Any veterans with advice?

    DS is my first, but today I decided instead of nursing him before lunch... I would give him WCM with. He did okay, drank a little too quickly through the straw and coughed a bit and most of it ended up on him lol. Will try again tomorrow... I also want him completely weaned before Christmas. I think it is possible :] we shall see though. So today I nursed him once in the morning, once before dinner and twice in the middle of the night, but I don't really count those. Mostly because I figure I could any nursing session after seven when he usually wakes up, if that makes sense. Like he woke up after six, but then went back to sleep till after 8, so I nursed him then, for the first time for the day. GL to you [and me lol].

    We are nursing 4x a day:  wake up, just before 2nd nap, as an afternoon/pre-dinner snack, and then just before bed at night.

    I think soon I'll start replacing the afternoon/pre-dinner session with a snack.  (I'm just lazy and it's easier to nurse her than prepare a snack.  Embarrassed )

    Then I'd like to eliminate the just before bed at night so I can be out of the house in the evening (or at least it's not required for me to be home for her bedtime).

    I'll probably keep the morning one and pre-afternoon nap one in for a couple more months.  We'll see how long I can support just those two sessions.

    The other thing is that DH and I haven't really come to a conclusion on TTC again.  It may be as soon as Jan/Feb we start TTC and I don't know if I want to be pregnant and nursing so I'll have to decide if I want to wean completely before that or just go with it and see what happens.
