Soo. When it's time to wean the baby off the boob

You could wait until he’s 12 months when it’s suggested to introduce whole milk or another option if your family doesn’t do dairy. Just start by dropping one nursing session and don’t pump or anything for it. The next week (or wait 2 weeks depending on how you feel) drop another nursing session and so one. Here’s what I did for my first born when I weaned him. Week 1 and 2: Dropped before lunch nursing session. Week 3 and 4: dropped nursing session that followed afternoon nap.Week 5: dropped morning nursingWeek 6: dropped before bed nursingThen it was done once I dropped the last nursing session. No pain.

I had to switch to a bottle at 9 months due to a bad bite and had to supplement with some formula until I could pump. At first I would pump each time she ate to try to keep up supply and it worked well for about a month but my body started naturally weaning and the supply through the pump is decreasing so we're supplementing more formula to keep up. Now I'm participating in weaning 😁 so i cut out the middle of the day pump and only do morning and night. I get less at night so I know when I cut next it will be that one and then I'll eventually cut consistent mornings and only pump when I feel engorged, if that happens. So far I've only felt engorged in the mornings at the beginning but as my supply reduces so does that feeling. You should try to express some milk when you feel engorged so it doesn't lead to clogged ducts. Your body will guide you. A bit sad to end this chapter but think it's good timing with her turning a year soon and eating more finger food. Good luck mama!
