He's just too interested in life to care about nursing during the day, but night times aren't fun. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-your-12-month-old#post-2595399 Fri, 29 Jul 2016 13:19:52 +0000 MrsSRS 2595399@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>These posts make me feel much better about DD not being nightweaned. Not less tired, but better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-your-12-month-old#post-2595392 Fri, 29 Jul 2016 13:14:36 +0000 Dahlia 2595392@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD is 12 months and usually nurses 4 times a day. Wakeup, before daycare, after daycare, and bedtime. I don't pump when she's at school because she won't drink pumped milk anymore for some reason. </p> <p>We're trying to get her to drink cows milk, but she will only drink a sip or two so she basically gets food and water for the 6 hours a day she's at school. On weekends she usually nurses once or twice more. I would love to get her drinking more wcm and nursing less, but I don't know how to do it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-your-12-month-old#post-2595330 Fri, 29 Jul 2016 12:05:04 +0000 PawPrints 2595330@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>16 months, nursing first thing in the morning and last thing before bed. We night-weaned when she was 4 months. Except when she's sick. </p> <p>Since she turned 12+ months, it's awesome not having to pump at work anymore. But the flip side of that is that I don't feel like it's ever okay for me to miss bedtime, since obviously we put away all the bottles months ago. Before she was 12 months I could miss bedtime and DH would just give her a bottle. I don't think it would go over well if I just skipped out these days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-your-12-month-old#post-2595313 Fri, 29 Jul 2016 11:54:18 +0000 simplyfelicity 2595313@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is 13 months old and nurses between 3-5 times a day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-your-12-month-old#post-2595285 Fri, 29 Jul 2016 11:02:27 +0000 LindsayLou 2595285@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Following. My daughter is 11 months and still nurses at least 7-8 times a day. I don't see it stopping anytime soon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-your-12-month-old#post-2595276 Fri, 29 Jul 2016 10:52:21 +0000 Iced Tea 2595276@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 17 month old usually nurses 4 times a day. I don't nurse her overnight anymore. She won't drink WCM, but she loves plain drinkable yogurt. I mix whole milk Greek yogurt with WCM in a reusable Squeezie. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-your-12-month-old#post-2595270 Fri, 29 Jul 2016 10:44:43 +0000 Mama Bird 2595270@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Until recently, DD nursed once before bed, and however many times it took for her to sleep at night. I thought we'd pretty much day weaned. Turns out she has other ideas. Now that she's learned to pull herself up, her latest skill is to sneak up on me when I sit down, and start nursing. I guess she's not ready to be done after all... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-your-12-month-old#post-2595125 Fri, 29 Jul 2016 08:10:49 +0000 lilyofthewest 2595125@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>On weekends when we're together all day my 15 month old nurses at wake-up, before and after both naps, right before dinner, before bed, and twice overnight. So, 9x/24 hours. </p> <p>However! I only pump once during the workday, generally just 3-4 ounces. I send what I pump and he gets another 8 ounces of cow milk. So, I think a lot of his frequent weekend nursing is comfort/connection rather than nutritive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-your-12-month-old#post-2595035 Fri, 29 Jul 2016 01:22:45 +0000 GoGoSnoGirl 2595035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO is 14mos &amp; nurses about 3-4 times a day and drinks wcm several times each day, as well. Fortunately she has started sttn more consistently the last week or 2, so those are all mostly before naps &amp; bedtime sessions, so manageable. I will also nurse if we are out &amp; she needs tided over until we can get home for a meal, or for comfort. I added wcm more because I felt my supply was down &amp; she wasn't satisfied with the volume, more than trying to wean. At the moment I intend to keep going unless I have a good reason to stop. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-your-12-month-old#post-2595031 Fri, 29 Jul 2016 00:11:21 +0000 Ginabean3 2595031@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DD is turning 1 tomorrow and still nursing about 3x/day. Mostly before sleeping times and right when she gets up in the morning. She has had WCM and will drink it. I think the nursing is definitely more of a comfort thing. I want to drop the middle feed and only nurse in the morning and at night but sometimes when she's fussy it's just easier to pop the boob out... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-your-12-month-old#post-2595030 Thu, 28 Jul 2016 23:48:22 +0000 OhCaptain 2595030@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lets see....today she nursed 6 times during the day? But for about 5 minutes a session. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-your-12-month-old#post-2595025 Thu, 28 Jul 2016 23:26:32 +0000 QBbride 2595025@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter is 12.5 months and nurses 2-4 times a day, depending on when I'm working. Usually AM, after daycare and again in the evening (but these two are only when I'm not working day shifts) and once at bedtime. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-your-12-month-old#post-2595023 Thu, 28 Jul 2016 23:22:37 +0000 Kemma 2595023@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wee dude is 16 months and nursing 4-5 times a day (breakfast, naptime, approx 1700 (or when I get home from work), bedtime and sometimes overnight). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-your-12-month-old#post-2595021 Thu, 28 Jul 2016 23:16:54 +0000 Corduroy 2595021@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 13.5 months. We started weaning a week ago because LO was nursing every 10 minutes during the day and driving me mad. We dropped to morning and night last weekend. I think we'll stay at 2x daily for a couple weeks before dropping another session. I hope to be done by 15 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-your-12-month-old#post-2594917 Thu, 28 Jul 2016 20:08:23 +0000 twodoghouse 2594917@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LOs are 26 months and we are down to 3 times per day (and maybe once overnight)! </p> <p>@petitenoisette: I was in the same spot up till about 21 months, but at least as they get older they can understand that it's not time to nurse now, but you can nurse at nap, bedtime, whatever. It was a rocky couple days cutting down to 4 times a day, but they adjusted well after a couple days! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-your-12-month-old#post-2594882 Thu, 28 Jul 2016 19:46:03 +0000 MrsADS 2594882@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Following. My LO is 11 months and all about the milkies. LIke @petitenoisette we can't do cow milk. Or soy or almond. Soooo... I feel like he'll probably BF for a while. Which I'm ok with. Although I'm so so so tired of pumping at work! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-your-12-month-old#post-2594868 Thu, 28 Jul 2016 19:37:28 +0000 MamaCate 2594868@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are at 12.5 months. Successfully day weaned and nursing 6 am/5 pm/7 pm. Transitioning in sippy cup at daycare from breast milk to WCM. Next hoping to drop the 5 pm/home from work feeding. But happy to keep going with the other two for a while! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-your-12-month-old#post-2594864 Thu, 28 Jul 2016 19:34:52 +0000 petitenoisette 2594864@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 17 months old and nurses up to 6 times per day! :shocked: Morning, before nap, sometimes afternoon, bedtime, and up to twice overnight. I'm on summer break but once I start back up at school will definitely be cutting down to just morning/bedtime. She can't do WCM so that's partly why she's still nursing so much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-your-12-month-old#post-2594860 Thu, 28 Jul 2016 19:29:30 +0000 MrsSRS 2594860@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I cut LO back to 4 times a day or so, she is displeased. I am utterly failing at nightweaning. My first child was not so attached to the boob!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-your-12-month-old#post-2594855 Thu, 28 Jul 2016 19:21:45 +0000 autumnlove 2594855@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lilteacherbee: ahh, time is flying!!!! I am on an emo countdown to next week. :-( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-your-12-month-old#post-2594852 Thu, 28 Jul 2016 19:19:32 +0000 lilteacherbee 2594852@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our babies were born the same day and he nurses 3-4 times a day as well (but usually twice overnight). LO1 weaned on his own around 13 months, so I'm interested to see what happens!</p> <p>Oh, and I gave him WCM last week and he hated it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-your-12-month-old#post-2594849 Thu, 28 Jul 2016 19:17:46 +0000 autumnlove 2594849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I nurse LO 3 about 3 to 4 times a day and would love to drop to night only feeding. I hope she loves WCM!</p> <p>How much is your LO nursing right now? </p>
