When Is the Right Time to Wean? Breastfeeding & Pumping Tips with Abby Theuring (The Badass Breastfeeder)
Episode 35
Tuesday, 27 January, 2026

Weaning is one of the most emotional and often confusing transitions in the breastfeeding or pumping journey—and no two experiences look the same. 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. Together, they discuss how to know when the right time to wean truly is, how to gently and safely reduce milk supply, and what physical and emotional changes—including post-weaning depression—can arise along the way. Abby shares practical, step-by-step guidance for pumping parents, breastfeeding parents, and those choosing to suppress lactation altogether, while emphasizing the importance of community support and working with a lactation consultant. This conversation also speaks directly to women preparing for a surrogacy journey, including those who are still breastfeeding or pumping and need to plan their timeline thoughtfully before moving forward. From milk donation and lactation advocacy to empowerment, autonomy, and self-care, this episode offers expert insight and reassurance for anyone navigating the end of their lactation journey. Whether you’re weaning by choice, necessity, or in preparation for surrogacy, this episode will leave you feeling informed, supported, and less alone.
