Whenever she was fussy for a feed for a few days in a row I would drop it. She's wasn't weaned at a year, but she was down to two feeds a day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-does-weaning-take#post-194302 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 16:46:55 +0000 katmmad 194302@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thank you, @mrsbee! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-does-weaning-take#post-193929 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 13:09:16 +0000 Mrs. Bee 193929@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>a friend told me that her pediatrician told her to start the weaning process at 9/10 months so that they're weaned by 1. dropping one feeding at a time sounds like the way to go... sorry i don't have much advice since i have yet to wean! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-does-weaning-take#post-193703 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 10:50:28 +0000 katmmad 193703@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How long does weaning take? My LO turns 10 months old tomorrow so I was thinking of dropping a feeding and replacing it with formula feeding in the Zoli cup. I honestly don't think he'll mind -- he's always excited to get the Zoli cup and get formula -- and I suspect I'll be the worse of the two of us (both with engorgement and just emotional issues with weaning). </p> <p>Should I wait another 2 weeks to start the process? I want to wean him by his 1st birthday (ideally, breastfeeding him for the last time on his 1st birthday -- don't know why but I read someone else who did that and it stuck with me as a niceish thing). </p>
