Are you still breastfeeding?

Question

Just wondering how many January Mama's are still breastfeeding. My daughter is still exclusively breastfeeding and we are planning on not switching to milk at all because all my family is lactose intolerant and have constipation issues with milk. However, she's still nursing twice at night and 4 times during the day. I'm just exhausted 😴.

Answer

My daughter gets half bm and half cow milk bottles sometimes or just cow milk in a sippy. I still nurse her before bed though. I’m done pumping so we are just trying to use up my freezer stash.

Answer

I’m trying to wean, but I 1) don’t really know how to do it successfully 2) have too much supply and it hurts. He also seems to be clinging to it and I feel bad taking away his comfort😞

Answer

We nurse in the evening, once during the night and in the morning. Now that she's one I no longer pump at work and I have her drink either water or Fairlife milk with DHA in it. If I'm home she occasionally demands another nurse session, but for the most part she's pretty happy with the new regimen. For now I'm going to let her nurse as long as she wants but if she doesn't lose interest by the summer we may start doing a little weaning. I'm not in a major rush but somewhere between 18 months and 2 years I definitely want to be done.

Answer

I am still breastfeeding with my son, but only 3 times a day. Right before bed around 8pm, when he wakes around 7am, and then at his nap around 1pm. He does the sign for milk constantly other times in the day but I say no, but you can have milk. He will sometimes accept this and other times give me a small fit. All other times of the day he drinks milk or water.

Answer

Weaned her at a year but I have a TON of pumped milk so she still gets that in a bottle until we’re out, then cows milk it is!

Answer

My girl isn’t too fond of milk, and will breastfeed if she wakes at night and first thing in the morning. Sometimes for comfort. 
I’m pregnant again, so my supply is drying up and changing which I think lead to her losing interest.

Answer

Just finished weaning this week! It was earlier then I wanted but I'm pregnant again and wanted a little break between kids. We took it fairly slow though dropped a feeding every 2-3 weeks. 
The big thing was just substituting milk for food. If he clawed at my shirt I was like ok your hungry, we eat food. It was a fairly smooth transition. But a big chunk of that is that your milk changes when your pregnant and he didn't like it as much he still ate it but only for like 4 min tops, and definitely didn't empty it.

Answer

As a lactose intolerant person, I’m wondering if your families issues are not a lactose intolerance issue, but something else. I know myself and the majority of others will get gas and diarrhea from lactose, not get stopped up. Sounds to me like maybe not the lactose but something else.

Answer

I’m still breastfeeding mine like 4-5 times a night 😅 but before bed she gets cows milk
