This consultation should take place before a nursing parent wants to wean their baby from nursing or wean their body off of the pump. There is no “appropriate” age to wean your baby or stop pumping and it completely depends on each individual family’s situation. These appointments are based on how quickly nursing parents want to wean. We will review how to help your child transition to fewer breastfeeding sessions (or your body transition to fewer pumping sessions) and how to decrease your milk supply safely.
What Takes Place During a weaning Consultation?
