Weaning doesn’t have to feel confusing, emotional, or rushed. The Gentle Weaning Guide offers real support for every stage of the process—because no two feeding journeys are the same.

Weaning Isn’t One-Size-Fits-All

From navigating bottle refusal to managing emotional goodbyes to nursing, weaning brings up a lot. Maybe your baby is showing signs of readiness—or maybe you are. Maybe you're weaning before 12 months, or just trying to night-wean without chaos.

This guide meets you right where you are, whether you’re weaning from the breast, the pump, or a little of both. You’ll get step-by-step guidance for each phase—plus reassurance that you’re not doing it wrong.
