Weaning 11 mo from breastfeeding

[HPLmummy]

Hello! I'm hoping to begin the process of weaning my nearly 11 mo from the breast. I return to work in August and my LO starts nursery, so would like to have established this before then so he is well used to the change before another big change happens in his life!
I'm guessing I gradually drop each feed, but do I replace each feed with a bottle of formula? Or do I go straight to cows milk?
Any advice please!! Xx

How much is he feeding just now? Do you want to stop altogether or have him down to e.g. a nighttime feed?
I wouldn't bother replacing with formula tbh. (Esp if you've not up to now- given you can give cow milk as a drink from 12 months and advice seems to be bottles are supposed to be replaced with cups then too, seems a lot of hassle for a month.)
I think by 11 months I was down to morning, an afternoon feed, before bed and then night time. Swapped mid morning for a snack, mid afternoon for snack and drink etc.
I was pretty relaxed about stopping/not stopping so was still doing morning and night for a bit after I went back to work; (and one when I picked her up from childcare but that didn't last ) my plan to get all daytime feeds stopped before going back was seriously disrupted by a vicious sickness bug or I think the hometime one would have gone sooner.
Sort of depends if you want to stop or reduce.

Following as we're in a similar situation. We have been combination feeding since she was 1 month old so I'm pretty relaxed about using formula, but my problem is that my babe has recently suddenly become too attached to the breast. She's like a rapist! She can find it, she goes for it, she will rip up a bra or a t-shirt !!! A few months ago I thought weaning would be easy as she wasn't too bothered at all. Hmmm

I slowly dropped daytime feeds before I went back to work, because I didn't want to pump at work. I didn't replace them with anything because my baby was 13 months old when I went back to work and was eating plenty of food and drinking from a cup.

I let her continue to feed as much as she wanted overnight (and still do - she is 19 months old and still has a breastfeed at bedtime and another overnight).
