I weaned at 6 mo. My plan was to replace 1 feeding with a bottle per week, allowing my milk to adjust. But what I found was I was able to omit feedings sometime earlier. I went on how full I felt and what was best. I found I was fullest in the mornings (DS only had 1-2 feeding at night). So I cut out the 3rd feeding 1st and went from there. Sometimes only going a few days until cutting another feeding out. My plan was to keep morning and evening feedings for a while. I got to that point (morning, evening, and 1 sometimes 2 night feedings). Next I decided to cut out night feedings... we had done a version of ferber sleep training prior and so I let DS fuss out 1st night feeding...he fussed for 10 min and slept the rest of the night.... next night he fussed 5 min and then nothing!) I was SO FULL in the morning! I fed him usual morning feeding and pumped only if necessary. I ended up being kind of empty in the evening and cut that out next. DS cut out AM feeding on his own. Go on how you feel. Cut out the feedings when you are the least full 1st and go from there. Good luck.... it was easier then I thought it would be.
