Dropping a feed- 11mo

[arabesque]

Hi

I'm doing 4 BF/day (usually, sometimes an extra squeezes in) and am keen to move toward morning and night only. Dd will be 12 mo in just over a week

I usually feed round 6-7am, 11/11:30am, 3:30/4pm and before bed at 6:40pm. Occasionally a night feed though I'm also keen to end this

Do I drop he late afternoon feed first? And try to push the morning feed later? This seems to be the one she wants most and the hardest to budge. Or do I replace with a sippy cup of milk and not lose the feed?

I can't remember from my boys, thanks in advance

I just dropped down to 3 feeds when we moved to one nap as it was a natural time to change since we no longer had that second wake up. What are your LO's naps like now?

You can give a sippy of milk instead if you want but she doesn't need it if she is still having a couple of feeds from you.

Check out our weaning FAQ for more info on strategies for dropping feeds. Weaning

Thanks

We are still on two naps, but moving towards one pretty rapidly. I offered a sippy of milk that she spat out yesterday arvo. I'm a bit worried that if I chop and change I'll lose my supply (and already feel like there isn't much)...and she's a hungry baby but doesn't always love solids...so was going to replace rather than drop at this stage.

You could try to replace with a yogurt or other solids snack perhaps.

Thanks! I'll give it a go
