I need tips on weaning my almost 1 year old?

  • Posted on September 10, 2010 at 7:23 am

My daughter is 1 in 3 weeks. She is still being breastfed. We feed her baby cereal and baby food fruit in the morning and I feed her baby food vegetables for dinner. She nurses first thing when she wakes up, a few times during the day and at night before bed. Usually for lunch I give her table food – whatever we are eating. I have no idea how much she should be eating at this age – she is my first baby. I would like to wean her from the breast by her first birthday. She drinks juice well from a cup and I give her whole milk sometimes too. Can anyone give me some tips on how much a one year old should be eating? I don’t want to give her too much, but I don’t want her to go hungry either!! She also snacks during the day on crackers, those gerber puffs and gerber dried fruit things. Thanks!

Weaning my daughter from breastfeeding…?

  • Posted on January 4, 2010 at 9:09 am

Okay, my daughter is 14 months old and loves to nurse in the mornings and at night before bed and whenever she gets stressed out. I have decided to wean her for several reasons. First being that my husband and I are going on a 4 day vacation in 2 weeks and our daughter is staying with my mom. I don’t want to pump, so I know that will pretty much end my milk. Secondly I go back to work again in mid August and would like her weaned by then. She is fine with drinking whole milk during the day, but this morning she cried and cried to nurse. I felt horrible. And now that it has been over 24 hours since I’ve nursed my breast hurt? Any ways to make this easier on my daughter and how long will it take for my milk to dry up and my breast to stop hurting? Thanks

I have been trying to wean my daughter since she was 4 months old.
She is a stubborn little bugger and won’t quit! It’s to the point now, where I will only breastfeed her at night, because she HAS to have that comfort to fall asleep. It really ties me down and my doctor wont let me take birth control pills to dry up my milk, what the heck can I do? She does drink milk out of a sippy cup throughout the day.
