How to ween EBF (no bottles) ? Advice? Tips?

Question

So my daughter will be 10 months on the 21st and I'm ready to stop BF. She's taken a bottle a handful of times but mainly is exclusively breastfed and hasn't had a bottle in months. Where do I even begin in the weening process? She nurses 4-5x a day and 2-3 times overnight.  I know it takes time, but no one I've asked so far seems to have any solid advice or instruction on where to begin, or how! 🤷🏼‍♀️Thanks !!!!

Answer

My pediatrician wants me to stop breastfeeding at 12 months. She suggests eliminating one nursing session a month until you reach zero. I'm still nursing 5-6x a day so hoping it'll be only 3x a day by 12 months. I'll add that I was nursing 8-9x a day when he was 8 months. So it's working! I'm just skipping a feeding here and there and giving more solids.

Answer

I'm ready as well to stop but want to make it until at least a year. But wondering how to slowly wean. There are plenty of Facebook groups that might be able to help.

Answer

I understand I have been slowly weaning my little one she is 10 months I feed her now only over night and twice in the day I started. Taking away day feedings. So I gave her a bottle but I held her close to me so she could still hold my top cleavage. Then she started rate less breast feeding more bottles know night feeding are kicking our but but we for the most part are getting there I hope this helps even a little
