Share your experience with weaning. When and how did it happen for you? And when do you think is the best time to do it? At what age?
I don't understand anything at all. For almost as long as he's been born, my son's first nighttime s…

Having two at 1.3 years old was hell.
With the third at 2.2 (only breastfeeding for sleep at 1.3) it was easier than expected, though harder for me.

My oldest stopped asking at 2.6
My son stopped at 2.9
My third daughter... I weaned her at 2.7. I had to have surgery and was away for 4 days... I took Dostinex.
My fourth is still breastfeeding.

I breastfed my daughter until she was 1 year and 10 months old (she weaned herself), and my son until 2 years and 2 months. Breastfeeding was on a schedule. They fell asleep with a pacifier. I nursed at night until about 9 months, then I tried to just rock them back to sleep if they woke up. I only nursed if they absolutely couldn't fall asleep or if I was too lazy to rock them. My daughter stopped nursing at night completely at 1 year and 2 months. Starting around age 1, I gradually reduced daytime feedings to free up my day. By 1.5 years old, only the morning feeding remained, plus feedings before bed and for naps. That was it. With my son, to finally stop, I put green antiseptic on my breast and told him it hurt. It all went smoothly without any tantrums or engorgement. I didn't even have to pump.

My milk supply is just dwindling, I'm not trying to boost it and I'm feeding the baby less often, so it's drying up. This is the third time this has happened, and by 6 weeks, it'll be completely gone.

At 8 months, I started weaning because of a medical contraindication, as I needed to take medications incompatible with breastfeeding. It was really tough. Two weeks of tantrums. She wouldn't take bottles or nipples from me. She didn't accept formula. But slowly and surely, we achieved it. Now I can't wean her from the bottle 🤦🏻️

1-1.5 years is normal. I nursed my older ones until 1.5, gradually weaning by reducing feedings. My youngest nursed until almost 1 year, then he weaned himself.
