Girl, sometimes it's damned if you do and damned if you don't. When I breastfed past a year I would get snarky comments about how my daughter was too old to breastfeed and that she should be weaned. I say, we are all different and need to do what is best for ourselves, our family, and our situation! You don't need to explain yourself, none of us do. We all need to support each other. love and hugs!

Hello Ali,

I know this is an old blog but I am just now starting to think about weening my 11 month old due to my supply dropping as well. Did you introduce the cashew milk slowly? Were you concerned about a nut allergy? I have been supplementing formula since about 7 months but it has been a small amount and I am a little apprehensive about using so much more to compensate the supply drop. My pediatrician would like for me to wait until she has her one year appointment to introduce cow’s milk, which I am ok with but I would rather give her an alternative type of milk then use so much more formula. Sorry this is so long winded! Main question, how did you introduce the cashew milk?

Thanks so much for sharing this. I am in a similar situation right now, my almost six month old daughter is wanting a bottle at night when my supply is low. Unfortunately, I don’t make enough when I pump to keep up with her needs so we do supplement with formula. Reading this really makes me feel better about it. Best of luck to you with your next baby, love all of your posts. xo Tina
