Another weaning question....
Talk to me about weaning... How do I start? Do I quit cold turkey from boobs or gradually drop a boob feeding every couple of days? (DD nurses about 4x a day now- days im at work 1 feeding is a bottle& I pump) I want her to be on all cows milk by first bday coming in beginning of may. I have 100 oz frozen in freezer; I'm willing to nurse her at night before she goes to bed for a bit longer than a year if need be. Do I give milk (bm/cows milk) in bottle or sippy? This is complicated!!! Any advice/experience/tips for me???

Re: Another weaning question....
Here's what I did:
I used to pump 3x/day at work. Each week, I cut out 1 of those pumping sessions until I was not pumping at all anymore.
Currently, I'm still BFing when I'm home (morning before I leave for work, when babies get up from 2nd nap and right before bed). I'm cutting one of those later feedings out now.
Doing it this way, I really had minimal discomfort!
Mine never transitioned to cow's milk and we're fine with that.

Re: Another weaning question....
Do it slowly. Your boobs will thank you. I BF from the tap, and when I weaned DD1 we cut out one nursing session every few weeks. It took 2.5 months (partly because I was so ambivalent about it) but it was easiest on both of us.
