My baby is 6 months old and his a big boy so we started weaning a while back. He has breakfast and tea and ive now started giving him a few toast fingers for lunch. If he didnt want it he wouldnt eat it so im happy with that.

I didn't get AF back till I stopped BFing.
How old was your LO when you stopped? Ive started the swap onto formula so maybe AF will return for me soon
Alia was 7.5 months when I stopped and I got pregnant right away!!
As for solids: I started Alia on one meal a day at 4 months. Went to 2 shortly after and then at six months I switched to three. That was the best because she has been on such a nice schedule since.

Ive pretty much done that too! Now just started lunch! Im replacing Corbans feeds with formula as i dont wanna just stop giving him booby!
Thought I'd ask here first- those who did get AF back how long was it between making some kind of BF change (less feeds, more solids etc) and seeing AF?
Just wondering how long I ought to give the changes I'm making before I decide they aren't working.
Right now if AF doesn't come back I only have 2 more months of BF and the deadline is looming...
I'm going to be so freaking pissed if I have to stop BF and AF still doesn't show up.

Melissa_m- was it hard when u stopped bf?? Did your Lo take to formula fine? I am planning on switching at 6 months.... just wondering on the difficulty of it. Sheesh... I am worried I might be an emotional wreck over it.
It wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be. In all respects. I started by giving a bottle of formula at night. That made her sleep through the night like magic!! So for a week I did that. My supply started decreasing then because I was going so long between feeds. Next I swapped out her noon feed. Did that for 3 or 4 days. The last feed to go was the morning feed. It was tough at first to know I was done but after a few days I was really happy to have my body back to myself. Plus Alia was so much more contented with the routine that comes with bottle feeding. Alia didn't even seem to notice that I wasn't BFing anymore!!!

My LO Is 6 month and a few weeks back i introduced a formula feed at lunchtime. It took him a week or so to get used to the bottle and formula but now he takes a 7oz bottle no problems. Im doing it slowly asi dont wanna feel bad about just stopping.
Also ladie i need advice!!! I ordered some of those ovulation sticks but my friend gave me a few of hers so i thought id test cause you never i might catch the first egg before my AF returns. I had negatives the past few days but today i had a positive???? The line is as dark as the other....so i done another to see if its faulty one and i had the same result?!?
Am i Ovulating? Or can you get false postitives? Surely i cant be this lucky??? EEEKKK

I'd say it's a positive and to get having some sex.
I am down to 2 bf's a day (morning and night), I give Skyler whole milk with his cereal then try to get him to take a sippy cup of it, which he does but inconsistently. Well today he's had almost a cup of whole milk with no problems! I was so proud of him. We're actually making process.
