How do I wean baby off breast?

I’m going back to work in a couple of months and baby is EBF and I have no idea how I’m going to wean her off in time? She doesn’t take a bottle and I’ll have no time to pump or anywhere to store my milk whilst at work

I’ve just done this. Offer bottle everyday even if she doesn’t drink it or drink much. Let her play with it if she wants. Offer same time everyday. I did this and after a week he was drinking whole bottle for bed. 2 weeks later he is all bottles (I breastfeed during night feeds cos I’m lazy) lol Persistence & consistency. Was so easy for me to do it this way. Baby preferred bottles over my boob all within just 2 weeks

I don’t have any guidance in weaning off breast as my baby is also EBF however your work place should provide you time, safe space and a fridge for you to pump and store milk this is law ☺️xx

@Sera Kay ✨ I wish this worked for me 😩

Courtney is right it is required by law if you do want to pump x Regarding weaning, you don't have to use a bottle, you can use a sippy/straw or open cup instead 😊 If you're thinking of using formula, the advice is to switch gradually too You could also wean of partly and still continue to feed whilst at home and your supply will adjust 😊
