Weaning - which session to drop first?

Maizey06 · September 2013

I only nurse DD in the morning and evening. I want to start the full weaning process but I wonder which one is better to drop for both her and my boobs. She is pretty equally attached to both sessions.

Any advice? Also, if I drop a session, do I need to pump a little bit to avoid a clogged duct?

Most would tell you to drop morning. Also, since you work, it would be one less thing to have to do in the morning. I have a feeling Howell will hang onto his morning session though because he's just really attached to it. So some of it has to do with her personality.

I am in the same boat. I have been thinking about morning as well. I think I can distract her with breakfast and WCM. She is super attached to her evening one. We shall see. Is it best to just decrease the time she nurses for a few days?

I was going to try dropping the night time session first because Albert doesn't seem as attached to that one as the morning session. It's probably because I bring him to bed with us in the morning to nurse him. We get some cuddle time in, then.

I would say drop the night sess because that's the one my DD liked best. Plus if you still nurse in the morning, you get better relief for throughout the workday.

I ep, so what ds prefers wasn't a factor. I recently dropped to 1 session and chose to eliminate night, for the reason calival stated. I'm not uncomfortable during the day.
