Has anyone ever given up breastfeeding cold turkey style ?
I have a 9 month old son who breastfeeds 4-6 times per day and I'm wanting to cut down to just one bed time feed. He's only very occassionally taken a bottle and we've tried all different teats etc.
So, as of this morning he's had no milk. dh has tried the bottle which he's flatly refused. He seems quite happy if a little clingy now because he's had 4oz formula in his breakfast + a banana + a yogurt, but I'm dreading the rest of the day!
Has anyone else got any tips to share with me ? Is it a good/bad idea to feed him at bed time if he hasn't taken the bottle all day. I feel awful about the whole thing. Help me stay sane please !
