I was decided to wean Vera (from breast feeding) when she turns 1 year old. We already introduced her to Pediasure (chocolate) and thankfully, she liked it.
She lessen her breastmilk intake when she was about 8 months old. She only feeds from me at night (to be exact: 9pm, 12am, 3am and 6am). Last night, we tried giving her 2oz of Pediasure before going to sleep. She was reluctant at first but drunk it anyway and slept on her own after finishing 1 oz of it. She asked for milk again around 12am and the next one was at 6am (gave her breastmilk this time). I’ll probably going to try this again tonight and hopefully, this will be a successful routine for us.
I still give her breastmilk any time she wants it. I just want Vera to know that there is an alternative and so that anytime I’m not available to give her breastmilk, it wouldn’t be difficult for yaya jing to give her formula instead.
