I quit the pump at 12 months and we weaned at 17 months. It was gradual and on her terms other than the post work session that I intentionally cut out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-wohms-who-didnt-wean-at-1-year#post-1574138 Thu, 17 Apr 2014 03:35:50 +0000 London Mama 1574138@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same here, went back to work when LO was 9 months and never pumped. By then he was eating solids at day care during the day, continued evening/night/weekend nursing until DS was 21 months. As your child eats more solids and less milk supply will drop naturally. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-wohms-who-didnt-wean-at-1-year#post-1573927 Wed, 16 Apr 2014 21:17:05 +0000 MoonMoon 1573927@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I work part time, and stopped pumping at 7 months, when he weaned himself from bottles, but we're still nursing a bunch at 10.5 months and I have no plans to wean at 1. I thought dropping pumping would impact my supply, but it hasn't seemed to. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-wohms-who-didnt-wean-at-1-year#post-1573891 Wed, 16 Apr 2014 20:43:02 +0000 heartonastring 1573891@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm going back to work on May 1, which is exactly one week after DD turns one and I have no intentions of weaning. She nurses 2-3 times a day and it's working for us at the moment.</p> <p>I quit pumping a few weeks ago. She does get a bottle at bedtime..right now we're using up my freezer stash and I'm working on switching her over to something other than BM for that feed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-wohms-who-didnt-wean-at-1-year#post-1573851 Wed, 16 Apr 2014 20:19:02 +0000 genarator 1573851@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I quit pumping at 9 months but am still nursing at 14 months. Fortunately I am able to go home and nurse on my lunch break. dd shows no signs of weaning even though I would really like to transition her to milk. Since she has turned one, we have gotten her to take 2 bottles of whole milk. We tried almond and coconut but she would not take them at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-wohms-who-didnt-wean-at-1-year#post-1573738 Wed, 16 Apr 2014 19:31:13 +0000 delight 1573738@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went back to work when LO was 7 months in March and am pumping at Bork currently. I'll be off for the summer but when I return to work in September I don't plan to pump. She'll be 13 months then and I'm hoping to continue to BF at least morning and night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-wohms-who-didnt-wean-at-1-year#post-1573720 Wed, 16 Apr 2014 19:22:30 +0000 MarieJ 1573720@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I stopped pumping a couple of weeks before her birthday and we are still nursing mornings and nights at 17 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-wohms-who-didnt-wean-at-1-year#post-1573708 Wed, 16 Apr 2014 19:18:32 +0000 Beehive 1573708@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I stopped a couple weeks before 12 months (had enough freezer stash to get to a year), but kept nursing morning and night until a couple weeks ago, and weaned completely last Friday - he's nearly 18 months old. I was very happy to stop pumping and to switch to cow's milk for his milk during the day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-wohms-who-didnt-wean-at-1-year#post-1573677 Wed, 16 Apr 2014 19:02:26 +0000 misolee 1573677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't wean until about 14 months. At one, she had morning and night feedings and maybe one during the day. Slowly. She just lost interest and I dropped morning and then night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-wohms-who-didnt-wean-at-1-year#post-1573665 Wed, 16 Apr 2014 18:55:36 +0000 sslm 1573665@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO will be 1 on Monday (omg) and I went back to work this week. I haven't been pumping and have been nursing in the morning and before bed. LO is fine with this plan even though I didn't do any weaning beforehand! She drinks a bit of WCM and eats more solids. It's been 3 days and my boobs are slowly getting the memo! I plan to continue the 2 feeds for a while and see when she loses interest. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-wohms-who-didnt-wean-at-1-year#post-1573641 Wed, 16 Apr 2014 18:43:34 +0000 regberadaisy 1573641@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't wean at 1 either. I kept pumping the the same but my supply was dropping significantly . Pretty Pretty down after I was only an ounce per session so I begrudgingly dropped pumping. </p> <p>We were nursing twice a day. Just a few months ago we dropped the morning session. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-wohms-who-didnt-wean-at-1-year#post-1573635 Wed, 16 Apr 2014 18:39:28 +0000 californiadreams 1573635@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i went back to work full time after being home the first year. i started by pumping at lunch, plus nursing morning, after work, and before bed. i quit pumping after about 2 months (hated it). and he also slowly weaned off the after work session. now it is just morning and night and occasionally we will miss one of those or do an afternoon on the weekend. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-wohms-who-didnt-wean-at-1-year#post-1568043 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 14:23:45 +0000 cmomma17 1568043@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO turns one on Friday and I will be done pumping at work then too, whoo hoo! Still will nurse when ended at home, especially at wake up and bedtime. Neither LO or I are ready to fully wean. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-wohms-who-didnt-wean-at-1-year#post-1568031 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 14:21:18 +0000 Pumuckl 1568031@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I still nurse in the mornings and at bedtime. LO is 12m and we've been on that schedule for 2m now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-wohms-who-didnt-wean-at-1-year#post-1567977 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 14:08:50 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1567977@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't wean. He started gradually decreasing nursing sessions after that though, and by 16 months he had fully weaned himself. I stopped pumping at work by 15 months because I could tell he was stopping. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-wohms-who-didnt-wean-at-1-year#post-1567936 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 13:58:54 +0000 MamaMoose 1567936@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I quit the pump and did cow's milk during the day while she was at school. Then nursed morning and night on weekdays, and before nap on weekends. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-wohms-who-didnt-wean-at-1-year#post-1567926 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 13:55:29 +0000 Revel 1567926@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm going to stop pumping by one year at the latest, but I have no plans to stop nursing. We're going to try some other milks in the next few weeks and hopefully use that and freezer stash in a sippy or straw cup. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-wohms-who-didnt-wean-at-1-year#post-1567891 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 13:44:17 +0000 BKCaribBaby 1567891@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I will stop pumping at the end of the this month when LO is about 13 months. I'm actually on my first real week of one pump per day at work. I had a business trip last week where I didn't get many opportunities to pump and I think that helped. We're having some problems transitioning to other milks, but we still nurse in the morning and evenings. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-wohms-who-didnt-wean-at-1-year#post-1567763 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 13:13:51 +0000 travellingbee 1567763@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Like others have said, I stopped pumping a little before a year, and we fed morning and night for another month or so. I just decided to fully wean at 13 months, because he was hit or miss with his interest. I think we were ready now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-wohms-who-didnt-wean-at-1-year#post-1567756 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 13:11:57 +0000 littlebug 1567756@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My last pumping session was the day before his first birthday. I continued nursing him for another month or so afterwards. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-wohms-who-didnt-wean-at-1-year#post-1567691 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 12:52:04 +0000 brownie 1567691@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I stopped pumping at 1 (only was pumping once a day because I went to him at lunch). I nursed him through the night, about dinner time, lunch and morning. The morning nurse was the last one dropped. He nursed until he turned 2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-wohms-who-didnt-wean-at-1-year#post-1567680 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 12:48:59 +0000 Periwinkle 1567680@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I stopped pumping at just about 12 months and have continued to nurse am, pm, and middle of the night-- LO is 17 months olds now. My supply went down a bit after I stopped pumping at work, but it seemed to come back fine a few weeks later.</p> <p>Good luck!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-wohms-who-didnt-wean-at-1-year#post-1567654 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 12:38:37 +0000 bushelandapeck 1567654@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I quit pumping around 12 months and kept the morning/evening nursing sessions until he self weaned at 16.5 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-wohms-who-didnt-wean-at-1-year#post-1567644 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 12:33:59 +0000 Adira 1567644@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I stopped pumping at a year but we still nurse once in the morning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-wohms-who-didnt-wean-at-1-year#post-1567565 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 12:10:33 +0000 septca 1567565@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I stopped pumping just before a year, but kept 2-3 feedings per day after that - wake up, bedtime, and sometimes when I got home from work. My supply gradually decreased, so I was barely producing anything 1-2 months later... dropped the bedtime feed at 13 months and the wake up feed at 14 months. **BUT** DD didn't care that she wasn't getting much from nursing - we could have kept going much longer, but I decided I was ready to stop. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-wohms-who-didnt-wean-at-1-year#post-1567563 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 12:09:49 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1567563@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I quit pumping around 13 months but we nursed through 18 months. She would have gladly kept going but I was only producing enough for morning/night feedings and she couldn't understand why should couldn't have it all day on demand Saturdays and Sundays. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-wohms-who-didnt-wean-at-1-year#post-1567546 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 12:04:07 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1567546@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We switched to a morning, home from work, bedtime nursing schedule. She did really well like that for a while. I never had to pump and her weight has actually ticked up. We just weaned at 15 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-wohms-who-didnt-wean-at-1-year#post-1567530 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 11:59:49 +0000 mrsjazz 1567530@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I stopped pumping at about a year. I still nurse her and she'll be 2 on Thursday! She was drinking less milk and we transitioned to whole milk, so she'd nurse in the morning &amp; night and middle of the day whole milk (we transitioned with a mix of breast milk and whole milk).</p> <p>Right now she still nurses at night and occasionally in the mornings. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-wohms-who-didnt-wean-at-1-year#post-1567528 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 11:58:21 +0000 lawbee11 1567528@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@grizz: Several of my co-workers quit pumping but were able to continue nursing for many months. That's what I plan to do! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-wohms-who-didnt-wean-at-1-year#post-1567507 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 11:52:01 +0000 Boheme 1567507@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All of you who didn't pump are making me sooooooo happy! I'd love to quit that thing. </p>
