I've heard conflicting things about weaning. LO is almost 11.5 months and ebf. I want to to slowly start tye weaning process soon. Do I put wcm in a bottle or put into straw/sippy cup?

Also ant tips for this process would be great!!! Nervous as heck about this!!!

    basically, do whatever works for you and your LO. straw cups are ideal because they are better for their oral development. but some LOs are picky about that, so you may need to make the transition slowly. some people make the milk transition gradually (mixing larger and larger amounts of WCM in with BM until you're totally switched to BM), but if your LO likes the taste of WCM, there is no need to do that.

    i assume that you work and are pumping? if so, you'll want to gradually cut back on the number of pumping sessions per day (if you haven't already), until you're down to 1 session a day. then you can either decrease the time you pump each day, or quit cold turkey. also, you can still nurse your LO when you're at home as long as you mutually desire, even when you stop pumping at work.
