    Jan 27 2026

    Weaning is one of the most emotional—and often confusing—transitions in the breastfeeding or pumping journey, and no two experiences are alike.

    In this episode of All Things Conceivable: A Surrogacy Podcast, host Nazca Fontes is joined by Abby Theuring, founder of the Badass Breastfeeder community, to unpack everything moms (and surrogates) need to know about weaning.

    They discuss:

    • How to know when the right time to wean is
    • Gentle and safe ways to reduce milk supply
    • Physical and emotional changes, including post-weaning depression
    • Practical guidance for pumping parents, breastfeeding parents, or those choosing to suppress lactation

    Abby emphasizes the importance of community support and working with a lactation consultant, while exploring topics relevant to women preparing for a surrogacy journey, from milk donation to advocacy, autonomy, and self-care.

    Whether you’re weaning by choice, necessity, or in preparation for surrogacy, this episode offers expert insight, reassurance, and guidance to help you feel informed, supported, and less alone.
