I think Lucy wouldn't even care if I stopped nursing, it's more me wanting to do it for her. I don't know why, but I feel guilty cutting sessions! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-just-breastfeed-morningnight#post-1560403 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 15:57:48 +0000 birdofafeather 1560403@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we're still at 3 times a day (morning, after her 1 nap, and night) at 15 months, but after our trip coming up next month, i'm going to try to drop to morning and night only. she was sick and any efforts to say no to her did not work. in a couple months, i might go to don't offer, don't refuse for the morning and night and see what happens. right now, she asks in the mid morning when she's tired, after her nap and before bedtime, so i'm sticking with my 3 times a day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-just-breastfeed-morningnight#post-1560327 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 15:36:44 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1560327@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@californiadreams: L would nurse for 40 minutes in the morning. And would freak out if I tried to cut it short. Her bedtimes have been easy. She fights it a little now whereas she used to just go down, but overall she's asleep within 5-6 minutes of going in her crib. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-just-breastfeed-morningnight#post-1560317 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 15:33:56 +0000 californiadreams 1560317@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: i bet it does! I was actually getting stressed some mornings when DH would wake up before me and then LO wouldn't want to nurse by the time i got up, so i decided to let that session go if i am not awake for it. Bedtime though he does ask for it still when i am with him. How is L when you put her to bed? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-just-breastfeed-morningnight#post-1560306 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 15:29:56 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1560306@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@californiadreams: She asked Sunday so we nursed. I think she'd accept if I offered but she doesn't ask for it. As much as I miss it I like having the time back. It makes my mornings so much easier! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-just-breastfeed-morningnight#post-1560304 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 15:28:23 +0000 californiadreams 1560304@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: have you tried offering since saturday? or were just testing if she would ask. because that's what i mean by LO would probably wean too - if i stopped offering. At least i think, i don't want to test it just yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-just-breastfeed-morningnight#post-1560294 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 15:26:11 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1560294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@californiadreams: I didn't really plan it. She did so well without me Saturday night that I wanted to see what would happen. What happened was she was ready. :crying: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-just-breastfeed-morningnight#post-1560268 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 15:19:57 +0000 californiadreams 1560268@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: i feel like i could wean too if i wanted to, but i am not ready! DH puts him to bed once a week because i work late and never has a problem. and if i don't nurse first thing in the morning, he won't want it anymore. Congrats to you though!! I bet it is nice to have that freedom. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-just-breastfeed-morningnight#post-1560192 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 15:04:48 +0000 Mommy Finger 1560192@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Right around 11 months. It happened naturally. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-just-breastfeed-morningnight#post-1560097 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 14:39:43 +0000 Adira 1560097@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just after 12 months, we weaned Xander off bottles at daycare and at the same time I dropped the middle of the day and evening feeds. Now at 13 months, I only nurse once in the morning. I still have a freezer stash though so I'm weaning him off breast milk slowly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-just-breastfeed-morningnight#post-1560058 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 14:32:09 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1560058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@californiadreams: I nursed her Sunday morning and we had a really sweet session. Then that night I had J put her to bed to see how she'd do. She went down easily. Then Monday morning I didn't offer and she didn't ask.<br /> It's definitely harder on me than it is on her. I don't think she misses it too much. I've been making sure we still cuddle a lot. It's nice actually. It used to be that I'd come home, nurse for 40 minutes, rush to cook dinner, eat, bedtime. Now we spend her nursing time playing together. I'm really enjoying it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-just-breastfeed-morningnight#post-1560054 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 14:31:24 +0000 Kemma 1560054@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ha, Miss A is almost 18 months and she's just dropped her mid-morning session so we're down to just four nursing sessions during the day! Night time on the other hand, if she want "drinks" she will not be persuaded otherwise! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-just-breastfeed-morningnight#post-1560031 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 14:26:54 +0000 californiadreams 1560031@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i went back to work at 12.5 months and he was nursing when i got home from work plus morning and night, plus i was pumping milk for his lunch until about 14.5 months. then he gradually dropped the after work session and i stopped pumping, so i guess from about 15 months he was down to morning and night, but sometimes i nurse a bit more on the weekends (like once in the afternoon, one of the days).</p> <p>@oliviaoblivia: you weaned completely??! i had no idea! how did it go? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-just-breastfeed-morningnight#post-1560007 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 14:19:59 +0000 dojo 1560007@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I dropped daytime nursing/pumping at 12 months. LO is currently coming up on 14 months and still nursing first thing in the morning and before bed most days. When we daytime weaned he switched to cows milk at daycare/with his grandmas so it was a pretty easy transition. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-just-breastfeed-morningnight#post-1559780 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 13:37:03 +0000 rattles 1559780@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Let's be friends - I'm in the exact same situation! My L is 16 months, in the process of dropping her morning nap, and I'm pregnant and finding breastfeeding ever more painful. She nurses every morning and night, and I'd say that's it about half of the time. The other third to half she asks to nurse sometime in the middle of the day. I try to redirect for now, but if she insists, I cave. To end the nap time connection, I changed up her routine. For a couple of weeks I either nursed her and then did story and rocking before instead of having it be the last thing before nap time. Separating it seemed to help. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-just-breastfeed-morningnight#post-1559696 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 13:21:40 +0000 lamariniere 1559696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>About 12.5 months. I knew I wanted to be done BF by 13 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-just-breastfeed-morningnight#post-1559643 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 13:12:52 +0000 cmomma17 1559643@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am really trying to get there now (just shy of a year). We still have a good session at lunch though. LO will drink almond milk, but not very much, so I'm really worried about his calorie/nutrient intake. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-just-breastfeed-morningnight#post-1559618 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 13:07:47 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1559618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At 12 months we dropped the daytime feeds. She nursed morning in night for three months. I've just weaned her completely this week at 15 months.<br /> She hasn't had any trouble dropping feeds. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-just-breastfeed-morningnight#post-1559612 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 13:06:49 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1559612@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we went from 4 to 2 feedings at 12 months. </p> <p>now at 14 months, he's down to 1 morning feeding, and my hope is to wean him from this last feeding in the next month. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-just-breastfeed-morningnight#post-1559598 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 13:02:51 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 1559598@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around 15-16 months we were just doing morning, before nap, before bed, and middle of the night.</p> <p>At 18 months we were just doing before nap and middle of the night.</p> <p>At 19 months, she weaned herself. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-just-breastfeed-morningnight#post-1559592 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 13:02:27 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1559592@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I stopped pumping around 13 months and by 16 we tried to just do morning and night but she just didn't want to do that and eventually at 18 months we had to wean all together. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-just-breastfeed-morningnight#post-1559586 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 13:01:38 +0000 travellingbee 1559586@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just before 12 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-just-breastfeed-morningnight#post-1559583 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 13:01:07 +0000 tinyperson 1559583@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We started around 12.5 months just before I went back to work and she started daycare. It worked out nicely because I knew pumping wasn't going to work for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-just-breastfeed-morningnight#post-1559520 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 12:50:17 +0000 MamaMoose 1559520@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We started doing morning and night nursing at 12 months once she was transitioned to cow's milk for day time. But she had outgrown her food intolerances making it an easier transition for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-just-breastfeed-morningnight#post-1559500 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 12:47:33 +0000 Mrs. Deer 1559500@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lucy is almost 16 months old and we currently nurse in the morning, after both naps, and before bed. We're hoping to start the transition to one nap soon, and I'm thinking about dropping our daytime sessions (I'm also pregnant and nursing is getting really uncomfortable!). My only hesitation is that with her MSPI, I want her to get all the nutrients she can (she won't drink alternative milks).</p> <p>When did you cut out the daytime nursing sessions? How'd it go? </p>
