Tailoring Your Journey
Weaning doesn’t have to be ‘all or nothing’ – it really can be as flexible as you want to make it.
This guide will help you drop the feeds that feel overwhelming or burdensome, and keep the ones that bring you peace.

We can remove or reduce feeds in biologically safe and appropriate ways, without removing or reducing connection.
