I had started the weaning process two weeks ago when I began having my mom mix her daytime bottles with 1/2 whole milk M-Th while I continued to EBF on weekends. I pump once a day midday during work and want to stop pumping in the next couple weeks, so I think I need to transition DD to whole milk on weekends too. First transition day (yesterday) was tough as she did not want a bottle from me! She kept pointing at my chest and signing 'milk'. I felt bad denying her. Since I'm only pumping once a day I am nursing her only once during the day and giving her bottles the other two times. We did that again today and she was better about taking the bottle from me but she had a REALLY crappy nap day. Did this happen when you weaned? Am I pushing it too hard? How did you redirect LO's request to nurse?
I want to continue nursing morning and bedtimes as long as she'd like but would like to drop daytime sessions. Any tips on the transition?
