Can people advise how to wean?

Hello all,

I'm going to start to wean my 6.5 month old during the day (but carry on with the morning and evening feed)

How do I do this? Someone said to replace the same feed each day with a bottle, and replace a feed every 2-3 days. Other than the two feeds above, I feed 3-4 times during the day so it would take me 6-12 days ish.

However, we don't really have a routine and feeds aren't always at the same time each day. How would be the best way to approach this? I was thinking about starting with the first feed (after the morning one) and then a few days later the next one etc. would this be ok even though the morning feed could be anytime from 9 to 11 depending when she wakes and how long she's feeds for first thing?

Hope that makes sense, and thanks

I don't think the timing matters particularly. In your case you'd just drop the "second feed of the day" rather than the "11am feed" for example.

You drop one every fews days to let your supply adjust slowly and avoid engorgement.

Good luck :)
