I love beagles, even though they are very stubborn.<br /> I appreciate the advice. I never thought of mixing BM and formula together. And the decongestants are a great idea! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-advice-for-weaning#post-615298 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 17:26:31 +0000 mrs. wagon 615298@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ninja: ps i love love love your avatar! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-advice-for-weaning#post-615295 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 17:26:22 +0000 mrs. wagon 615295@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did this at 7 months with Wagon Jr. I was a SAHM and tried to just give him a bottle with formula and he was PISSED. I had to do 5 oz breastmilk, 1 oz formula... then the next day 4 oz breastmilk, 2 oz formula... and so on until he got used to the taste of formula.</p> <p>With pumping, I was taking decongestants for a cold and that dried me up quick! This time I'm starting to wean from the pump again and I just dropped one pump session... I went from 4 pumps a day to 3, and it's going pretty well... my total pumping is decreasing slowly and gradually. You want to be careful to avoid plugged ducts and mastitis!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-advice-for-weaning#post-615283 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 17:24:00 +0000 ninja 615283@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am planning on switching to formula at 6 months. Has anyone else done this? I'm a working momma who pumps during the day and nurses at night and on weekends, but the pumping has really been tough to keep up with. Should I transition slowly, or all at once? Formula recs? How to pump wean? So much is unknown to me! </p>
