Mother-led weaning

Danielle

Hi all

I’m currently weaning my 4-month old (please no judging). I feel that EBF is no longer for me and feel that I gave my baby what I could.

I’m currently dropping one feed every 5-7 days. I’m now in the “2 feeds dropped phase” and am dealing with some engorgement pain.

Anyone been in a similar situation that can offer some advice and tips?

How long did it take for your breasts to adjust to each dropped feed?

By the time you got to the last dropped feed did you feel as though there was less pain?

Also, when did you get your period back? Do hormones start triggering a cycle once you begin weaning or only once you’re completely done?

Thanks so much!
