She just decided she didn't want to nurse anymore around 11months. My sister was pretty sad at first, but then she went on to breastfeed 4 more kids, so I think she's feeling okay with it now ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-elses-baby-self-wean-early-before-1-year#post-1148695 Mon, 14 Oct 2013 10:23:35 +0000 junebugmama 1148695@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NovBaby1112: I would be a little a sad too. I hope someone else chimes in. I know the last client that had it happen also had a baby get a cold, and then wean. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-elses-baby-self-wean-early-before-1-year#post-1148692 Mon, 14 Oct 2013 10:21:30 +0000 NovBaby1112 1148692@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@junebugmama: I miss it so much! :/ but obviously I cant force her to nurse. I am sort of okay with it now, since it has been over 2 weeks. I am just a little confused because it came out of the blue, and everything I have read says that it is very uncommon for a baby under a year to self-wean, and wanted to see if any other moms had this happen to them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-elses-baby-self-wean-early-before-1-year#post-1148679 Mon, 14 Oct 2013 10:15:09 +0000 junebugmama 1148679@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NovBaby1112: Well it sounds like you have it figured out then and as long as she seems to fine with it, then all is well.</p> <p>Are you ok? Are you feeling sad about it? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-elses-baby-self-wean-early-before-1-year#post-1148673 Mon, 14 Oct 2013 10:13:00 +0000 NovBaby1112 1148673@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@junebugmama: interesting- it started right around 10.5 months, she is 11 months now. I have been pumping about 4x/day, but our Ped gave us the go ahead to start whole milk so when i do not pump enough we mix some whole milk in with the BM. I try to get her to latch every day but she just looks at me with a smile on her face like "really, mom? you still trying that??" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-elses-baby-self-wean-early-before-1-year#post-1148668 Mon, 14 Oct 2013 10:09:39 +0000 junebugmama 1148668@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have clients who have had that happen. Around 11 months or so. Although it's not that common, it's not totally unheard of either. Are you supplementing? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-elses-baby-self-wean-early-before-1-year#post-1148664 Mon, 14 Oct 2013 10:08:00 +0000 NovBaby1112 1148664@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never in a million years thought my once nursaholic would stop nursing so early, but it's been over 2 weeks since she stopped and hasn't wanted to since! I read typical strikes last up to 10 days and it's been way longer than that. </p> <p>I think it was a combination of her getting sick and getting 8-9 teeth in the course of under 2 months. </p> <p>Has anyone else's baby self-weaned before a year? </p>
