I pump weaned gradually around 12 months and then DS self weaned for morning/night feedings around 12.5 months. There was a bit of engorgement but nothing too uncomfortable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-any-issues-weaning#post-2276561 Sat, 29 Aug 2015 09:19:45 +0000 BandDmommy 2276561@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsF: same here! She isn't taking as much either so that doesn't help. My mom wants me to wean her so I stop getting sick. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-any-issues-weaning#post-2276547 Sat, 29 Aug 2015 08:43:00 +0000 MrsF 2276547@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BandDmommy: I'm worried about this :sad: I've had plugged ducts a couple times a week for the majority of the time I've been nursing J. It feels like it will be impossible to wean him without complications.</p> <p>I hope you're feeling better! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-any-issues-weaning#post-2276492 Sat, 29 Aug 2015 07:01:19 +0000 FaithFertility 2276492@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have pretty much weaned all day feedings so I just see our 1 feeding before bed since she nurses to sleep being a hard on, but then again she adapts to change pretty well </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-any-issues-weaning#post-2276419 Fri, 28 Aug 2015 23:33:41 +0000 BabyTsMom 2276419@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours wasn't gradual (LO self-weaned, and he was exclusively on breast milk at the time) and I didn't have any issues either. I think I pumped for about a week, 3x a day, but other than a bit of engorgement and soreness, it wasn't bad at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-any-issues-weaning#post-2276412 Fri, 28 Aug 2015 23:24:28 +0000 autumnlove 2276412@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No issues!

Weird. </p> <p>Let see. I was pumping 3x a day (WOH) from 3 months to probably 6/7 months, then cut to 2x, then 1x all while nursing morning and evening. Somewhere in there I just quit the 2am feed which I realized was just out of habit. I had to start supplementing with formula too since my supply started to tank when I went down to 1x a day. I would have stuck to morning/evening nursing longer but supply really dropped after I wasn't pumping at all, so that phased out after a couple of weeks. I was totally done by 10.5 months or so. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-any-issues-weaning#post-2275844 Fri, 28 Aug 2015 10:13:24 +0000 cheert16 2275844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had to wean because I got sick and had to take a bunch of non- bf safe meds. It's been almost a month and I am still on the mess and have basically dried up (for the most part) I just had to stop so for the first week I pumped 3x per day, second week 1x then just stopped. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-any-issues-weaning#post-2275838 Fri, 28 Aug 2015 10:09:23 +0000 snowjewelz 2275838@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If I wean now I know I won't have any issue b/c my supply is so low :meh: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-any-issues-weaning#post-2275774 Fri, 28 Aug 2015 09:22:53 +0000 Foodnerd81 2275774@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No- and again, really gradual. She started dropping feeds on her own, and was down to just one feed a day for probably a month before she totally weaned at 20 months. I never had any issues (though I did get pregnant at the same time). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-any-issues-weaning#post-2275707 Fri, 28 Aug 2015 08:40:44 +0000 californiadreams 2275707@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>no it was gradual. we were down to a couple of nights per week before i completely weaned. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-any-issues-weaning#post-2275669 Fri, 28 Aug 2015 08:03:56 +0000 lamariniere 2275669@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, like others, we did it very gradual over 6 weeks for LO1 and 2 months for LO2. I just started dropping a feed a day here and there. The last feed we cut out was the going to bed feed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-any-issues-weaning#post-2275648 Fri, 28 Aug 2015 07:52:24 +0000 Alivoo01 2275648@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. Like others mentioned, it was gradual so it wasn't bad. The discomfort from the engorgement was there the first week, but it went away after that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-any-issues-weaning#post-2275574 Fri, 28 Aug 2015 06:18:49 +0000 avivoca 2275574@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, it was very gradual. I started dropping pump sessions at 11 months, she dropped her night nursing session at 14 months, and we completely weaned at 21 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-any-issues-weaning#post-2275573 Fri, 28 Aug 2015 06:15:19 +0000 BandDmommy 2275573@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hellobeeboston: When did you start process? DD is 9.5 months and I'd like her weaned by the time she is 1 years old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-any-issues-weaning#post-2275572 Fri, 28 Aug 2015 06:14:56 +0000 hilsy85 2275572@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>nope but did it very gradually and by 18 months I doubt I was producing much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-any-issues-weaning#post-2275570 Fri, 28 Aug 2015 06:12:00 +0000 hellobeeboston 2275570@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No...
