I also hope this is just a short stretch. If she doesn't start to drop the bedtime feed in a few weeks I may just skip it one night and see what happens. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weaning-after-block-feeding#post-2189028 Tue, 26 May 2015 07:46:46 +0000 lamariniere 2189028@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never had engorgement problems, so I would just feed on one side per day. The weaning home stretch of feeding once per day only lasted about a week though, and then we were done! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weaning-after-block-feeding#post-2189020 Tue, 26 May 2015 07:39:17 +0000 Bubbles 2189020@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would still only feed on one side, and then hand express a little on the other side later if I was uncomfortable. My body adjusted surprisingly quickly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weaning-after-block-feeding#post-2189015 Tue, 26 May 2015 07:34:45 +0000 Pumuckl 2189015@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Congratulations on STTN!</p> <p>Now to answer your question: My body adjusted to it pretty quickly, maybe half a week or so. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weaning-after-block-feeding#post-2189005 Tue, 26 May 2015 07:20:29 +0000 PinkElephant 2189005@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you block fed your baby (fed on one side only at each feeding), what did you do when you were feeding only once per day? </p> <p>DD has finally slept through the night a few nights in a row (hooray!), so the side I didn't use Before bed is winding up engorged and hard in the morning since it hasn't been used in 48 hrs. I'm hoping it settles down in a few days, but if she goes back and forth between waking and not (which seems likely due to teething, colds, etc.) this may be an ongoing thing.</p> <p>So block feeders, did you feed from both sides in the same session when you got down to one feed per day? Or did your body just eventually adjust? </p>
