    Anyone else? I know my original post was long

    in short - How did you go about reducing pumps / BFeeds;
    how did you wean onto cows milk, how much does she need & can i mix it up with say rice milk (thanks Kelebek )
    and how about reducing night feeds?

    I'm still screwy in the head about it...

    I never switched to another milk - it's not essential really. She does need calcium and stuff like that, but it doesn't have to be from milk. Does she eat well? DS refused (and still refuses) any other sort of milk. He seems ok without it.

    There are lots of ways to try night weaning - maybe have a look at the night weaning sticky or some other thrads on the topic. It comes down to whether she is hungry or thirsty or seeking comfort. My DS still needed to be fed during the night till 18 months. I night weaned and we switched to bananas. If she's thirsty you can try water. if comfort - then whatever else that works.

    I also think EE is awesome - it must be at least double the effort! Well done on doing it for so long

    Good luck!
