Wondering if there is any type of breast pump that is more popular than others?? Not too expensive, but not a cheap pump either.

Hi Nubia,

I am the mother of three children between nine and two years of age. I recently convinced and weaned my 2.5yr old son. I would recommend the following tips when trying to wean:

1: Begin the language of weaning. Talk frequently with your child about nursing going bye-bye.

2. Stretch out current nursing request. Instead of nursing on demand, increase the amount of wait time before the request is fulfilled.

3. Redirect. Provide plenty of opportunities for your child's special activities to be accessible for a diversion.

4. Praise! When your child says milk cup or juice box make a big deal.
 about it!

Hopes this helps.

Does a missed period necessarily mean pregnancy?
what's you opinion!

Do you know about breast cancer treatments

Hi Mandy,

Don't give up. You may need to seek the advice of a Lactation Center at a local hospital near you. The lactation consultants may have other techniques or tools to aid you in the nursing process.

My youngest child did not/ could not nurse for the first three months. I visited the lactation center and they recommended the haberman bottle to use as if transition him to the breast. Eventually, at three months and one day he took the breast. Don't give up! Remember to keep pumping to keep you supply up. Also, offer the breast before feeding with the syringe,fingers or bottles. If you would like to talk live email me at info@findingdefinitions.com.

Things will work out.

Hi Jenifer,

I have nursed three children and have had slow to start regular cycles after weaning my children. I would speak with my Gyn/Ob if this concerns you deeply. Every woman is different and the hormone cycle changes with nursing and pregnancy. All of my cycles returned as normal after two to three months. Hopefully, this helps you. Don't worry.

I had my daughter nearly 10 months ago. Over the last month she has been weaned off breast feeding and onto formula. I've started to get scared about my period not coming back. I had it for the six weeks after I had her and then two weeks later I had a light period for not even a week. Since then, I have had no bleeding. I have done a couple of home pregnancy tests and all have been negative. I am scared and don't know who to ask about this and I am far too embarrassed to talk to my doctor as we don't see eye to eye on things.

hi angie-mama, shame you really are having a hard time. if you still want to breast feed dont give up, maybe try express into a bottle as the teet is longer and may help her latch better! strange that she would only start doing this now though...some people say babies tell you when they ready to be taken off the boob maybe its time? anyway sorry cant be of any help but i wish you all the luck.

I have brest fed my baby for 4 months now she fell sick and was not feeding well, my milk has now reduced and she is not getting enough to eat cause everytime i take her off the boob she screams, i am now trying to give her some formula but screams everytime i need to feed her... is this ok and normal?

HI! My name is Nicole. I'm 23 and married to Brandon, 25. We have two beautiful kids. Bradley, 2 on Mother's Day, and Ava, 5.5 months. Ava is exclusively breastfed. I have yet to start her on baby food. I'm having a hard time accepting that she will be getting food from a source other than me! LOL! I am sort of a SAHM. I work from home making baby & toddler hair clips. Check out my store if you'd like.

Hello all...I seem to be having a problem getting my son to drink from a sippy cup and a regular cup also.. I have only been nursing him at night now,, but i'm worried that he's not getting enough iron since he was on a supplement while i was just nursing.. He took a regular cup for a little while, and i then told his doctor and she said that as long as he's taking the formula he doesn't need the supplement.. Well soon enough, like 2 weeks later he just started refusing anything other than nursing off of me. I'm thinking this could be just a faze, i hope so atleast. Any suggestions?

just do it

Hi. I am a mother of 4. I obviously have experience. The best thing to wean off your baby from your boob is to persavere, dont give in and when you are absolutely sure that you really want to give up breast feeding then just stick to it at all times. I did it, its not that hard as long as you dont keep giving in, it may be a little bit tedius to begin with but just persavire, I did it with my 4 children. Good luck.

hello????

Is there anyone out there???????

i must have help now!! please, Im weaning my daughter off the boob and she is 9 months old. she hates bottles and cups even if it is boob milk she dosent care she wants me.what should i do? oh and my boobs hurt sooooo freakin bad what helps and how long will this take??

I have a 11mth old princess who loves to nurse. I have become so sore that it hurts to just think about nursing her on the left side. I can't seem to find anything on-line about soreness that isn't all about the first few weeks of nursing. This hasn't been going on for the whole 10 mths. It's just here in the last couple mths. I've just resently lost my Mom to cancer- I was her care giver. I know stress isn't good during breatfeeding, but what do you do? One thing that isn't helping, is I think she isn't latched right, but she is at an age were she likes to do it her way and I can't get her to latch all the way.She like for me to be laying down and for it to be quiet. It seems like she just wants to latch on the tip and it just kills me. I am very small and so it's not like she has a lot to work with. I'm at a place where I guess I'll have to wean her, but I'm sure how to start the weaning process. She eats very good. She will eat anything that doesn't try to eat her first. With her docters ok, I have been giving her cows milk, in a cup. I've wondered, if giving it to her in a bottle would fix the nursing issue,because she takes great comfort in the sucking motion, I wonder if it will start a whole other weaning proccess when it comes time to take away the bottle.
HELP!! Anyone have any suggestions. I am at a loss of what to do.

heavens4me,

    I had to wean my 18 month old daughter because of the new baby. We shared for week, then cut out the mid day nursings. Next week cut morning nursings and lastly and most difficult cut the bedtime sessions. She still creeps up on me like a thief in the night sometimes!! But we are weened. My neighbor put mustard on her nipples, ewww!!! She said it worked.

Hi Ladies,

I'm looking for advice on weaning. My daughter will be a year old on Sept. 12th and I would really love to start transitioning her off my boobs. She loves mommies boobs and has screaming fits when I want to resist, which I find myself wanting to do...but she's not ready.

In addition she will NOT go to sleep at night unless she is nursing....so she sleeps with me and I really don't want her sleeping with me anymore...she has a wonderful crib. :)

Please give me any advice you can on weaning. I've been told to never go cold turkey...that your child will let you know when they are ready...but I seriously believe my daughter will nurse for as long as I allow her to.

Hi Mamas! I hope this is ok to post here. My name is Colleen Newman. I am the author of Near Mama's Heart, a children's book about breastfeeding. I had a very hard time getting etnically diverse pictures for my book and I am now reaching out to your community for help before my next revision. If you are interested in submitting a picture of you breaftfeeding your baby please email me at colleen@mybabyandmore.com For more information about thr book : www.NearMamasHeart.com
Thanks!

Hi Nicole. Take a few breaths. It'll all be fine. You and your daughter are going to experience those uncomfortable moments when she wants to breastfeed and you won't be there. Every breastfed baby has gone through it, but rest assured...they adapt quickly. Both of mine did.

Consider pumping your breastmilk every day and let her drink your milk instead of formula. Also, you should be able to express your milk at work, even if it's on your lunch break. Then be sure to refrigerate it. Also, be sure to ask your employer about their breastfeeding/pumping policies. Typically moms' milk doesn't dry up in such a short span of not breastfeeding.

Ask around your local area for lactation specialist who may be able to help you more or visit the African-American Breastfeeding Alliance at www.aabaonline.com for more information.

Hey Everyone,

I need help!!! My daughter is going to be seven months next week and im having a hard time weening her. She finally just started drinking a bottle about two weeks ago. My problem is that i'm going back to work in a month and she still expects to nurse during the day when she gets tired. I dont mind nursing her at night, but will she be okay during the day without me. I've tried not to nurse her during the day and she screams for the BOOB!!! I need help. Also when I give her a bottle throughout the day i'm giving her formula. I am a new mom and could really use any helpful suggestions. This is making me worry like crazy. Also she still gets up twice a night to be nursed. If I dont pump during the day at work will my milk supply last to feed her in the morning at when I get home? Please help me!!!

Hi,Iam new on this boared.I also have a 5 month old daughter,slowley trying to wean her off ,no luck so far.I'ts going to take a while.Good luck to all you moms.

My 11 month old will not eat any solid food, she just wants to breast feed is this normal?

I am nursing a 4 month old baby who has been having blood in her stool. It's not a lot, and not often but it is noticeable. Her pediatrician has instructed me to stop all dairy as she probably has a milk protein allergy- which I did 3 weeks ago, but the blood is still appearing every once in a while. She doesn't appear to be in pain, no fever, no signs of sickness. I also have cut out wheat and soy, but I'm running out of foods to eat. I have begun buying some organic foods and my daughter is due to see a gastroenterologist next week. My question is, has anyone else had this problem? What did you do? I definitely do not want to stop breastfeeding.

This is a post for any mother who has had difficulty getting their newborn to nurse. My son did not nurse daily until three months. I want to encourage any mother who is struggling with getting their child to latch that when the time is right for your child they will nurse. If you are committed to the nursing process you will have to pump to keep your milk supply up until the baby is ready. I wanted to share my experience because most doctors were discouraging about my son ever nursing given the length of time.

If the baby is 2 months old and the milk has dried up, can the milk be brought back by letting the baby suck on the breast and drinking the Mother's Milk Tea?

I would encourage each mom to do what's best for you and your baby. Breastfeeding is best, but not all moms want to, or can. And there's no problem with that. I nursed my first for 6 months and gradually gave her formula. She is a healthy, extremely intelligent 8 year old. I may only be able to nurse the one that's due in 4 weeks for my maternity leave since there will be no where to pump here at work. And I and her pediatrician are fine with that. I do question giving sippy cups to kids under 10 mos. Like the other mom said, why? What's the rush? And when the 2 of you can get time away...take it. Let the baby get to know others so that you can run errands, go to dinner, just chill, whatever. It is EXTREMELY important to still be you even though you are now a parent. Taking time for you does not make for a bad mommy or daddy. It actually makes for a better one!

hello I am new here. I am STILL nursing a 13 month old. I tried weaning, and honestly he wasn't ready, so I didn't force it. He eats 4 square meals a day, but he loves "his" boobies and is a cuddly comfort nurser. Yep, Momma's Boy all the way.

He started solids at 4 months, and that's also when he started w/ cups (sippy and regular) and straws. He's still not coordinated to hold a regular cup w/o spilling but he drinks from them just fine if we hold them for him. I see no problem with introducing cups, or spoons, or straws if your baby seems ready and shows interest.

However I do recommend either pumping or nursing morning and night b/c breast milk is the best thing for babies. And even when they are eating solid food, they still need the nutrition from breast milk until they are at least a year old.

Keep in mind every baby is different and NO ONE can tell you what's best for your baby. Trust your mommy instincts. But also realize in the long run they are babies a VERY short while. It didn't seem that way when I had a three month old and was sleep deprived, but I cried when he turned one b/c I missed my little baby! I know, I'm a sap.

Perhaps you can transition your baby to formula b/c 6 months is still way too early for cow's milk (which has barely any nutrition anyway compared to mother's milk or "liquid gold" as I like to call it). The last thing you want to do is cause some food allergies or sensitivites.

Also, re: the post about lopsided boobs. That's totally normal. My right breast started producing up to 8 oz when pumping, but my left breast never got over 4oz. When I'm engorged or when the baby was REALLY nursing one side was EASILY twice the size of the other. Now that he's not nursing as much they're almost the same size. I believe when I stop altogether and dry up they'll be somewhat of a match. (smile) My problem is they seem to have DROPPED a few inches (boo).

Dang this is long!

Banamy,

I am new to this board, but when I read your message, I had to respond. I was just wondering if there was a reason that you were going to wean your little baby. 6 months seems to be pretty young to wean a nursing baby. You also said that your little one cries when you are away from her. Is her tummy bothering her? Does she have food allergies? She was inside of you for over 9 months and she probably misses her mommy very much, especially since you are nursing. Could you pump milk to be left for her in a bottle? At 6 months, babies very much still have a strong need to suck for nutrition and comfort and that will be lost very easily if you decided to only give a sippy cup. You say that you and your hubby would like to get away for awhile, is it for long periods of time or for short outings? Can someone close to your family maybe come to be with the baby and comfort the baby while you are gone?

Don't forget that she may be going through a growth spurt at 6 months. She needs her momma and depending on how often you are offering her the breast, she may need that extra comfort. I know I have said a mouthful, but here is a link to a great site for nursing mothers, when you get a chance please visit it,

www.kellymom.com

my daughter will be six months next week and will not take a bottle or pacifier or sippy cup @ all. i want to try to ween her, but not sure how to start. she started eating cereal bout 4 and half months but soon after became really attached to me and my breast. she now wont ne more than two or 3 bites of cereal, fruit or the combo of both. me and my husband cannot go newhere and leav her with nebody bc she screams her little head off til we get back sometimes for hours. i'm really worried about this and was hoping on some advice to help me sufficiently ween her.

This is perfectly normal. nurse more on the side that is NOT big and nurse a little less on the big side.
 
 

Laura

I need some help! I've been nursing my 7 month-old daughter since birth and it has been fine since the intial month. However, my husband pointed out (quite disapprovingly) that my left breast was immensely larger than the right breast. It has gotten progressively worse over the past month. I've also noticed that when I pump at night before bed my left breast can pump out 5 oz. and my right breast will only pump out 2 oz. Is there anything I can do to remedy the problem? If not, will my breasts go back to being more symmetrical after weaning?

that's great. good luck
 
 

Laura

I pray that I am able to nurse, that's my goal and I look forward to it. If I can't then so be it. I think it's a personal choice and I dare not try to force anyone to follow my line of thought. I have my personal reasons for really wanting to breast feed.

Can I just say that I am sorry that there are so many rude mothers out there. I think that you are the mother and you know what is best!!! I have a 7 month old daughter and she has never taken a bottle, she has been drinking out of a sippy cup since she was 5 months... and my question to you is....no just kidding. (You know that in a lot of countries they start babies off with cups... just regular cups, I know crazy huh) Anyway I don't think that there is anything wrong with that. I started weening my baby at 6 months, she is happy and healthy and breast-milk free, and I am 15 pounds lighter (it took 2 weeks to lose) And just remember that everyone is different and YOU really do know what is best for your baby.
PS The cabbage leafs really do help, I know that it sounds crazy but it works

Hi, I have to agree with Laura.Especially at this time with you going back to work. If you can somehow continue to nurse your daughter it would do so much to continue the closeness and bond you two now share. After not being with mommy for the day what a wonderful way to end her day,with a special nursing time with you.
   About the wieght loss issue. You will find that when you do stop nursing the pounds will come back on.

Good Luck,
Mom if still nursing 32 month old girl.

Why do you have to stop breastfeeding just because you are going back to work? You can actually train your breasts to produce less milk. Nursing is a supply and demand thing. If you only nurse t bedtime and in the morning, thats all you'll produce. If you are nursing a lot right now, thats what you'll produce, a lot.
She is drinking from a sippy cup at 5.5 months? My question to you is: why? She is very young to be having a sippy cup.
You also mention that you want to stop because you are ready to loose weight. Are you aware that MOST women put on weight when they stop nursing? Nursing takes 1000 calories a day. When you nurse AND pump, you will expend more calories. When I went back tow ork, I continued to nurse when I was home, and just pumped at work. I went from 145 pounds down to 123 pound in 3 months, due to nursing. You will be giving up a great benefit of breastfeeding if you stop nursing just becuase you are going back to work. It will be much more difficult to lose weight. Good luck. Try to do some reading on breastfeeding before youq uit.

-a mom who nursed for 20 months.

hey ladies,

after 5.5 months of breastfeeding...i'm done. i'll be going back to work soon and would love to have my daughter weened by that point. in addition i no longer want to pump because each boob feels like it weighs 30 lbs and i want to begin taking some weight off.

she's sorta ok with the idea of a sippy cup, as she will hold it and attempt to drink from it, because she will NOT take a bottle under any circumstances. she's already eating rice cereal and oatmeal and will begin next week with stage one fruits (apples, pears, bananas...which i will be processing for her using organic fruits).

in the meantime, PLEASE offer me advise on weening my daughter.

Joy....please take a moment to read 101 reasons to breastfeed at promom.org ...not breastfeeding does not benefit either you or your baby only formula companies. Formula fed babies suffer more respiratory problems, ear infections, and gastro-intestinal disturbances. Formula feeding moms must wake in the middle of the night to prepare bottles, miss out on the reduction in brest cancer risks, and miss out on the other emotional and physiological benefits of breastfeeding..I hope this is enough to encourage you to not think twice about breastfeeding

Hi ladies, I'm new here, found the link on the Mocha Moms website. I have yet to be pregnant but will be within the next 12 months. Have any of you heard if there are any negative side effects to NOT breastfeeding and going straight to bottle/formula?

HELP, my six month old won't take a bottle, nor a sippy cup, what to do?

Have you decided how long you intend to nurse? If its only another few months, maybe you can live with that. At this point you are cbout it being for emotional reasons. Be CONSITENT in whatever you decide. You can't let her cry it out the first night and give in the next. It'll confuse her and make it that much harder the next time you try to stop. Have you read On Becoming Babywise? That cycle is working for us.

Nikki, you have to determine what you think is best for your child. If getting more sleep will make you a better mother, mate and individual consider what you will sacrifice to be better. I had a hard time with letting my son cry it out at six months (he nursed until 13 mos), I cried with him and eventually went to the basement, so I didn't have to hear him. What helped me make this decision is the advice that letting your child learn to get to sleep on his own is one of the best gifts you can give. As a mom who is still nursing, it's clear you want the best for your child. I understand your reluctance to do this and also believe it is important to do only those things that you can be okay with. So, choose what route (crying it out or not) you think is best for your child and sacrifice what you can in order to do what is best for your child.

Hi everyone I was just wondering if anyone who is breastfeeding is experiencing this, my child is 10 months old and is still waking 3-4 times a night to nurse. To tell the truth I think it is purely for comfort since she eats pretty good during the day. I just want sleep. My mate says I'm spoiling her but I hate the cry it out method. Any advice ?
