DS is self-weaning at 14 months.    We exclusively BFd until six months, when I slowly introduced solids. At around a year or so, I just couldn't seem to make milk for the pump. He was eating like crazy, so I decided to...

So, I think we're weaning. I am struggling with this. Here's the 411.   At about a year I just kinda stopped being able to make milk for the pump. DS was on solids then so I just nursed him at home and he drank almond milk at...
