Moms who have successfully weaned after BF...a question for you

I am returning to work as a teacher in about 3 1/2 weeks, and I've decided that it's time to start weaning Ryleigh so that I don't need to pump at work.

I've already phased out the 2-2:30 pm feeding and substituted w/ formula. Then, beginning yesterday, I phased out her very last feeding before she goes to sleep, and she gets formula then, too.

Am I doing this right? I figured I shouldn't phase out 2 consecutive feedings, because that could lead to some discomfort. Am I right? I'm totally flying blind here, kinda going on what seems like common sense to me.

If you can share your stories and experiences with me, I would greatly appreciate it. Chat Icon

OH, also...I have about 200 oz. of frozen storage. Should I be saving this for when I go back to work, or what? I switched her right over to formula because she had to have it in the past for a week and she did really well on it. But a friend asked me when I was planning to use my frozen stock, and admittedly I'd never thought about it! Chat Icon

Wow, that's the opposite of what I've been doing!

I can't imagine cutting out so many consecutive feedings, I think I'd really be feeling it Chat Icon
