Barb I am definately not weaning cold turkey (if anything I have been trying to keep going as much as I physically can) and I definately am not having any engorgement issues thats for sure. I wish!!! Sometimes breastfeeding doesnt work out long term, and so what, I'm happy that I made it to 8 months - and still going as much as possible. I'm now looking for alternative ways to keep her as hydrated as I was able to keep her before.

Thanks girls I looked into soy, eeek, bit scary. I will sort it out, thanks for your suggestions.
