Hello there!!!! Any tips on weaning my 18 month old off the boob. I tried when he was 1, but whole milk made him really congested and I decided I'll give him more time. (Almond milk is our alternative) I started the weaning process 2 months ago, so now he only gets it as soon as he gets home from school and to sleep. Now I'm ready to eliminate the nursing all together. Any suggestions????

People swear my methods was mean, but my kids didn’t throw fits. Middle of the night feeding was the only time the cried for it. And it wasn’t a full blown crying fit. I cold turkey weaned them. I made my breast undesirable with ACV. As soon as they smelt it or barely tasted it they turn they face away and didn’t want my breast. I held them and loved them a little tighter and longer so they didn’t feel rejected or anything. Took 3 days and it was harder on me than it was on them.

Never heard of this! Interesting, glad it worked for you. Did you get pregnant while nursing?

Following. I and my son are not ready to wean but I want to have another baby and I’m not sure if I can while nursing. Good luck with a smooth transition. I think taking away the after school nursing first would be good and then when that’s all done then the before bed and replace with warm almond milk? I’m dreading this as well!
