Milk, weaning... How to manage the end of breastfeeding?
You have decided to stop breastfeeding and feed your baby formula instead. But how do you organize the weaning? Which milk should you choose?
- It is advisable to plan a two-week weaning period so that baby's digestive system can adapt.
- Gradually reduce the number of daily feedings by replacing them with a bottle.
- If your baby is less than six months old, use infant milk; if he is more than six months old, follow-on milk is best.
- Your baby may refuse to take a bottle, as she does not feel the warmth of the breast, so buying a physiological nipple will allow for a smooth transition.
- You can also ask your pediatrician or a nurse at the maternity and baby health center for advice if you encounter difficulties.

Has anyone every switched antidepressants during pregnancy? I am currently on a low dose of Prozac but my doctor recommended that I switch to Zoloft towards the end of my pregnancy because that’s better for breastfeeding. It just makes me nervous switching while I’m pregnant. Not sure if anyone else has done this?
Terra
I was just put on Zoloft for my OCD, my pcp assured me it was safe and I went to the obgyn yesterday and the nurse didn't say anything. But I started it at about 27 weeks

Breastfeeding is the hardest thing I've ever done. I don't get much when I pump, and I'm about to go back to work. I'm so scared this journey might come to an end sooner than I anticipated. Please say a prayer for us

Some women don’t get much milk pumping ( I’m one ) but the milk is there mama . Try to get baby to latch here and there.
And if you have to give formula then that’s okay too , my baby gets mostly formula because I feel I’m not producing much milk as well but I still put her on the breast so it doesn’t dry up.
Either way you’re doing great !

I’m sad my breastfeeding journey has had to come to a end after 2 weeks. ☹️Taking dairy out of my diet has been the hardest job in the world, I fail every other day.

It’s hard to adjust too. My husband randomly became lactose intolerant a few years ago so we’ve had some time to adjust. It’s a lot of reading the packages and finding alternatives you like. We use lactaid for the milk. His preference is the coconut milk yogurts. The cheese alternatives are weird but you can have hard cheese like sharp cheddar. There’s no lactose but if your baby has a dairy allergy then you need to do the vegan items.

If you’re at the store and find something that falls under the paleo diet that’s dairy free as well

That's what I'm dealing with now. I mean I'm on birth control so I'm not worried too worried about it but just figured I'd ask if anyone else had a similar experience

Hello Ladies how did you guys end up weaning your babies off your boob and feed them regular milk ? After they turn 1. I definitely want to stop breastfeeding her when she turns 1 so I’m curious on how you guys did it and what’s your tips.
Jennifer
I still warmed whole milk to transition.

Any other Moms get annoyed when breastfeeding? By the end of the day I can’t stand it……
Samantha Hill
I was like that with my first baby! She also would play with my nipple and milk would go everywhere. I ended up pumping with her. My son was easy. He was a joy to breastfeed lol
