20. 24th - I started to wean him. Within a week I was down to a morning and evening feeding. I had to buy my first can of formula today:( But I am proud of how long we did almost 100% breast milk. Pretty soon he can have milk:) It is so great not to have to pump, but I am definitely not ready to give up the morning and evening feeding. I still really enjoy my time with my little guy:)
