59. Breastfeeding Weaning Tips: Easing the Transition for You and Baby

13 minutes

Weaning from breastfeeding isn’t just a physical shift—it’s an emotional rollercoaster too. In this heartfelt episode, I share my personal weaning stories, why it’s okay for you and your baby to be on different timelines, and what you can do to make this transition smoother for everyone involved. Whether you're ready to wean, your baby is, or you're navigating all the emotions in between—this episode is for you.

Here's a sneak peek:

[1:31] I share how my first son was ready to wean before I was

[2:15] Weaning is also emotional

[5:58] Hormones play a role during the weaning process

[7:52] The most important things during this season of life

Weaning is a deeply personal decision that doesn’t always line up with your baby’s timeline—and that’s okay. Whether you’re ready or still figuring it out, this episode offers the emotional validation, practical strategies, and encouragement you need. You are not alone, and you don’t have to do this alone either. 💛
