what is the best time to stop Breastfeeding?

Hi aj006. I think at one year, you have passed along as many immunities as you can by nursing. I nursed til my daughter was just over one year, and it basically stopped after she bit me really hard the first time. I had already been expressing since going back to work after 6 weeks, but was determined to go for a full year to give her a better start. Once we decided she was ready to stop nursing, the full transition to the bottle went very smoothly and I only had to continue expressing for another week before drying up naturally. Each day less and less was produced as the demand diminished. As the others have indicated, you can usually tell when the bite is coming. After a year of nursing, it's pretty easy to tell, but you do have to watch carefully. Those surprise attacks come when you're not paying attention. :) ps. You can keep your expressed milk in the freezer for up to one month, in case she misses it & won't go to sleep without it. I don't really think you'll have that problem if she's already comfortable with a bottle but it can't hurt to save it for a really bad night. :)
