Hi everyone, my daughter's 13mths old and LOVVVVES her breastmilk drinks! She is feeding a min of 4 times in 24 hours (usually dont feed her between 7pm-5am during the night). But sometimes she feeds more when she won't calm down or take cows milk or water or antyhing.

I would like to wean her slightly so she's only feedin in the morning and before bed (sooo 5-6am and 6-7pm ish)

Has anyone done this with a fairly clingy bfed baby? I originalyl wanted to do baby-led weaning but can't see her dropping feeds herself anytime soon and would like to fully wean b4 sheis 2!!!1

I recently watched an episode of super nanny on 4od with a three year old where in three days they went from wenever she wanted bf to none at all. I know your little one is younger so obviously take more time over it but i think you just have to stay strong (like most things when you want to change a childs rountine) and preapre yourself for a few bad days at the feed you cut out and then once she's settled to 3 feeds do it again so you only have the 2.

thanks, i will start today with 3 so once inteh morning once in the middle of the day and once at night...... will see how that goes........ if anyone has any helpful tips please advise!!

xx

hurray.... easier than i thought it would b so far.... this is day 3 with only 3 feeds in 24hrs!! I also have stopped picking her up at night and just patte and reassure her that its ok and she slept 11 hours STRAIGHT last night 6.30pm-5.30am!!!! WOOOHOOOO!!!!! Thanks for the encouragement, i think thats all i needed! xx
