When did you wean your babe?

Question

I realize this can be a controversial topic but I’m curious to know when all you mommas weaned your babies from nursing. I’m planning on when he starts eating solids I’ll start to slowly wean him, but I’d like to hear some stories from experience. Thanks ladies

Answer

You must give breastmilk or formula for the first year regardless of solids. I planned on putting breastmilk in a cup after he started solids but he wouldn't take it that way so we are still going at 9 months. Probably will just let him self wean. I know a lot of women personally who are still nursing their up to 4 year olds.

Answer

My minimum was a year because I don’t want to switch to formula. Now that I’m 8 months in, I plan on continuing as long as I’m able to and my daughter wants to.

Answer

We are going on nine once on the 11th but I plan to start weaning her at her first birthday because I am currently TTC baby number two to keep them close in age I've gotten my period back since she was 3 months old but I am having no luck if she won't wean at 12 months and I guess I'll keep going until she's ready

Answer

I dont think this is controversial at all. Wean when you and baby feel ready. Nobody else's decision but yours. Good luck mama.

Answer

I plan to wean when he doesn’t want to breastfeed anymore. Hopefully, that will be after 2, as the WHO recommends.

Answer

I think it depends on your definition of “weaning”. 
I began introducing solids at 6 months, but continued to focus on breastfeeding as his primary source of nutrition until 1 year. Then between 13-15 months we slowly stopped nursing, dropping one feed at a time and replacing with sippy cups of milk (breastmilk, almond milk, cow’s milk) and more substantial meals.

Answer

I always planned on a year and couldn’t wait to be done. Honestly during the difficult newborn days I couldn’t bear to think of going for a Whole year. But now my son is 4 months we have a great thing going and figured out the issues so now I would go as long as he wants. I would wean by 2 though because I’d like to have another baby by then and I don’t want to breastfeed both

Answer

1. 21 months
2. 13 months
3. Struggles to get to 7 months due to low supply.

Answer

I breastfed for 12 months, no formula at all. My goal was 12 months and I am so happy I made it to my goal. 💪🏾 For the first six months, we only gave her breast milk (nursing or bottles). After she turned six months, her primary nutrition was still breast milk, but we also began giving her solids. We took her off bottles and started putting pumped breast milk in cups when she was about nine months old.

Answer

When you are ready. I had planned on breastfeeding for a minimum of 6 months, but it didn’t go well for us, so she ended up needing formula starting at 1 month old, and transitioned fully to formula by 2 months old. My mom breastfed me until I was almost 2. I know moms who still haven’t weaned, and their kids are over 3.
