Baby girl has been EBF, but I think I’m ready to start weaning her off the boob. She’s 8 months old now and I really only want her to go a year on breast milk. I’m 7 weeks pregnant and my nipples are so sore, plus girlie is teething so it’s all taking a toll on me. I know the soreness won’t last forever and neither will the teething and biting, but I’m just feeling ready to be done. Plus with a new sibling coming in September, I need a break from breastfeeding before doing it all over again.

Are any of you weaning off the boob right now? Or do any of you have experience with it? Are you supplementing with breast milk or formula? How much? How is your babe adjusting? My first naturally weaned off the boob by six months. He was primarily bottle fed breast milk and ultimately preferred bottles. Baby girl prefers the boob so I’m feeling guilty, but this mama needs a break. Any insight would be helpful. I’m feeling pretty defeated right now, but it could just be hormones and exhaustion. Thanks 😊
