Breastfeeding mommy’s... my daughter will be 1 in November. I love breastfeeding 🤱🏽 but I am over it! She uses me as a pacifier and still nurses 3,4 times at night, won’t take a bottle neither and barely uses a sippy cup (give it to her everyday)!! How did you wean?

Cut out night feedings first. I did it cold turkey. But had to get up and hand pump for like two nights u til my boobs adjusted. At 11 months I get on a strict nursing schedule of 5 times a day (morning, before bed and 3 times in between). Then I’ll cut out one session a week, starting with one that’s closest to a meal, and will probably save the morning session for last to go. When I did this with my toddler, I would offer a small snack in place of a nursing session like a piece of cheese or something . You can also offer cows milk in a sippy in place of a nursing session. She probably won’t like it for a while if all she is used to is BM but after a few weeks she will get used to it.
@tacos4lyfe, thank you soooo much!!!! When she cried she eventually fell asleep?? Sorry for the dumb questions 🤦🏽♀️
@saleena, yes but it takes a few nights. With the method I did, I would wait intervals before going into her room and rub her back and shush her and eventually she would fall asleep. After a while she figures out I don’t pick her up and she also learns to fall asleep on her own and now she doesn’t cry or if she does she only cries a minute and then falls asleep. If you look up Ferber method you can find more info. But there are also other sleep training methods that are gentler. I’m just a rip the bandaid off kind of person lol. It’s a dramatic change but it works the quickest. Some people just cut down on nursing sessions slowly. It didn’t work for me because she would scream her head off h til I gave in and nursed her
@tacos4lyfe, you’re amazing!!! Thank you again!!!! I love your user name! Lmao 😂
I still haven’t figured that out mine 4 I’m so done
