I just interviewed recently so I’m trying to do some research. $105k seemed high for most Chicago shops. I always assumed $95-100k was maxing out the title in this city but maybe I’m mistaken

My baby daughter is almost 1 and I’m looking to stop breastfeeding and wean to cows milk soon. She has had very few bottles in the past 12 months (combo of Covid + she rejected bottles for several months) so we’ve primarily been nursing. I’m looking for weaning tips from parents in a similar situation. Seems like most methods involve combo of breast milk + cows milk in a bottle but that doesn’t really work for us since I haven’t pumped since like November!
