Weaning Support

At Milk+Honey Lactation & Infant Feeding, we understand that weaning is a unique process for every family. There’s no single “right” way to transition away from breastfeeding or pumping — and there’s certainly no universal timeline. Whether your baby is an infant, a busy toddler, or older, your experience, comfort, and feeding goals matter.

​

Many families choose to wean gradually. Others are navigating unexpected circumstances, medical needs, or emotional overwhelm and need support sooner. No matter what brings you to this stage, you deserve guidance that is gentle, informed, and aligned with your values.

Weaning Support Tailored to Your Journey

Whether you’re planning to:

  • Slowly transition from breast/chestfeeding

  • Stop pumping

  • Shift to partial or combination feeding

  • Reduce specific feeds (like night feeds)

  • Transition your toddler while maintaining connection

  • Fully end your breastfeeding journey

—our team provides compassionate support and evidence-based strategies to help you navigate this transition confidently.

​

What We Cover During Your Consultation

During your personalized weaning support appointment, we’ll discuss:

  • Gradual vs. abrupt weaning and what approach matches your needs, your baby’s age, and your timeline

  • How to maintain milk supply temporarily, if you're unsure or want flexibility

  • Safe strategies for transitioning to bottles, cups, or solid foods

  • Techniques to prevent engorgement, plugged ducts, or mastitis

  • Night weaning readiness and gentle alternatives to nursing to sleep

  • Emotional support — because this can be a meaningful, sometimes bittersweet transition for both parent and child

​

Our goal is to ensure your body remains comfortable, your baby feels supported, and the process unfolds with clarity rather than confusion or stress.

​

Why Support Matters During Weaning

Weaning impacts more than just feeding. Many parents experience:

  • Hormonal shifts

  • Changes in mood or energy

  • Changes in sleep

  • Shifts in identity after breastfeeding ends

  • Emotional reactions from toddlers such as increased clinginess or frustration

​

Guidance can help prevent physical discomfort while also honoring the emotional side of this milestone.

You deserve a plan that feels gentle, intentional, and right for your family — not rushed, forced, or overwhelming.
