Have you just tried a regular cup? You'll obviously need to help, but we had much better luck getting him to just drink from a regular cup. Then he was able to figure out a sippy later.

with my super frequent nurser, I went back to work around a year, and she was totally fine with no pumped bm at daycare, and she nursed a lot in the mornings and evenings. At 16 months she still does. I find that she nurses a lot when I am around, but she doesn't need to nurse when I am not around. She didn't take to a straw or sippy for a long time, but daycare would give her spoonfuls of water, and she would drink out of a regular cup that someone was holding.

My daughter nursed much less at one year than at nine months. By a year she was only nursing 4 times/day (am, before each nap, and before bed). I stopped pumping after a year and it was no problem. She nursed 3-4 times/day when I was home all day and am/before bed when I wasn't with no problem. I just send her to daycare with a straw cup with water (dairy allergy so no milk).

We were on a similar schedule at the same age. I began by not offering before or after meals. Then started feeding her a real food snack at 10 & 3 & eventually just stopped offering milk then as well. We still nursing occasionally in the MOTN if she is wakes up insisting (rare), when she was up for the day & right before bed. All the sessions are short but she asks &I have no reason to tell her no. She took really well to cutting out the day sessions. She's 14 months.

I'm gonna follow this, too. M is only 7.5 months, but I'm gonna start the weaning process somewhere around 10-11 months. I hope you figure out a good routine you can share!

First I'd cut out the nursing after meals and then replace the morning and afternoon session with snacks.

At 19 months we nurse a couple time a day and sometimes more on the weekends. He does fine at daycare with just WCM. At 12 months when he started daycare he still hadn't dropped all his daytime sessions.
