How do I start weaning her?

posted 27th Jan
Well, my daughter turned one early December, and I thought I would wean her then, but it turns out it is actually harder for me than for her. I wouldn't care to continue nursing, but I need to pick up more hours at work, and I already have no luck pumping. I also need to see about going back on an antidepressant or something, and I know I can't breastfeed and take my meds. It really upsets me to think about it though, I have even cried when cutting down her feedings or shortening them. She seems to be adjusting well, getting a lil upset but over it quickly. I just don't want our special bonding time to be over, and I'm having a hard time watching her grow up so fast. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

Start taking a few minutes away from feedings, have you introduced a milk substitute yet? Try goats milk I'd not, and make sure she is on a good solid food scedual, breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Yeah, she has her regular schedual of meals, and the meals with breastfeeding I have replaced with one of those big things of yogurt, we sit and share it after her regular meal. She drinks either whole milk, silk or almond milk at other times.
