Hey mama, I totally understand how challenging this is, especially doing it mostly on your own! Honestly, some mums I know continued nursing through pregnancy and even tandem nursed after, a few said the soreness peaked around second trimester (sounds like you're getting close), and that's actually when some found it easier to gently encourage weaning because the discomfort gave the toddler a natural cue to reduce. A few mums managed by limiting feeds to just one designated side or setting firmer boundaries around sleep time feeds, slowly cutting down one session at a time rather than going cold turkey, it takes longer but felt less stressful for both them and their toddlers. The honest thing though? One mum I know who tried weaning mid-pregnancy said her son actually clung harder when she pulled back, so she ended up tandem nursing for a bit and found it wasn't as bad as she feared, just more exhausting, especially in the early postpartum phase. What matters most is what you can handle without burning out, so if gradual is gentler on yourself, that's valid too. Hang in there, 30 weeks pregnant and managing a toddler is already a lot.
