Stopping breastfeeding/weaning

by Sarah M
(Canada)

This is my second girl. With my first breastfeeding wasn't easy. She was more of a bottle baby. It was easy stopping her night feedings. That's when she started a pacifier. She slept great too. My second little girl is ten months. I must go back to work in two.

I love breastfeeding so much. She depends on it emensly for morning and the many night feedings. She was eating solids well. I still give her options in the day but she's totally a breast babe. I'm trying to wean. At least getting her through the days without.

All websites are the same. Nothing seems to work!! I can't just go to work and leave her with a new sitter crying all day!!!! How can this be easier!!!!!????? Help!!! :,(

Hi Sarah

There is no easy answer for this. I know how you must be feeling, my little girl is a "breast baby" too...she won't sleep at night unless I breastfeed her to sleep and she cries during the day if she doesn't get the boob. Luckily I'm a work at home mom...so I dont need to wean her soon.

The only thing that's gona help is time...she will eventually get accustomed to not getting breastfed during the day. Unfortunately she will cry the first couple of days, but she will get over it...I know its difficult...I think its more difficult for a mom than what it is for the baby though ;-)

The transition can be made easier by pumping milk for her, she will most likely prefer this over anything else...also to keep breastfeeding in the evenings for comfort...until she decides to stop.

Good luck!
