BF weaning question

MeganequineMeganequine member
in February 2012 Moms

So which feeding would I wean first:  the before bed nursing session or the motn session?

My plan was to wean to WCM during the day first (once he hits 1 year) and then cut out the motn feeding and then the before bed feeding. . . but I don't know what way to do it.  Honestly, I could probably cut them out now, he drinks 10-15 oz at daycare, plus a nursing session in the morning and sometimes in the evening, plus 1-4 oz with dinner, and 3 meals of solids.

    I weaned the MOTN feeding first. He now nurses when he wakes up, middle of the day and again around 4 or 5. Sometimes he does a late nurse around 7 before bed. (Today he was super, super crabby and clingy and almost nursed from 4-6:45...and in between nursing he was crying.)

    I didn't give a bottle, we just stopped. I'm pretty sure some mommies on here did give a bottle and slowly gave less and less

    How do you wean the MOTN feeding?  Do you give a bottle instead?

    If I have freezer milk left-over after his first birthday and weaning him to WCM during the day, then I was going to use that @ night until it's gone.  (That way H can experience the joy that is nightfeeding.  Wink  Otherwise, I was going to offer just one boob instead of both for a bit and then cut it out entirely.  I haven't started the process yet though and have no idea if I'll be going about it correctly.

    DS dropped the MOTN feeding on his own.  He turned 1 on 1/16 and we slowly dropped feelings.  I just dropped the feeding when he started to consistently not be interested.  We are down to morning and night now with WCM during the day.  He has been weaning himself and I M just following his lead.

    I would wean the motn feeding purely because I like sleep, lol.

    I'm interested in knowing how you just stopped.

    DH would go in and get him back to sleep when he'd wake up. Sometimes he'll fall back asleep right away, sometimes it takes 10 minutes. I haven't done a MOTN feeding in about 2 weeks now.

    That was my thinking too.  Sleep  (Is that face a sleepy guy. . .?  I dunno, but that's what I'm going with.  I wanted to use an emoticon.)

    Edit-  whoops, I meant to quote Penny's sleep comment.
