Trying to remember how I handled this with DD1 and not succeeding well
Will begin shortly to transition DD2 to coconut milk. She already drinks BM cold out of a straw cup so hoping this transition will not be hard. Planning on gradually adding it by increasing the coconut milk and decreasing the BM over the next month or so. I have a decent amount of freezer stash too.
Tricky part is how and when to drop the pumping sessions. Right now at 3 times per day and need to adjust. Thinking to drop the late afternoon pump and start morning pump later and move back the lunchtime pump later to compensate and let my body adjust for a couple of weeks. Then drop another session ( morning?) - adjust again. Then hopefully drop the last.
Anyone have good suggestions about how to handle both of these? Adjust pumping first then move to the milk transition? I want to maximize use of my freezer stash so guessing I need to use it to transition and freeze the newly expressed in smaller increments?
Will keep nursing in the evening/night/mornings and weekends.
I hope this has made sense
