I know all babies are different blah blah blah, but bf is a whole new territory for me as ds1 was ff.As such, he had very regimented milk at ds2's current age, rather than being fed on demand.So I'm not sure about this whole weaning off the breast malarky!
So, ds2 is 10 months, and for the last 4-5 weeks he's had a bottle of formula before bed, and one in the night (after a huge trauma to find a bottle he'd take). For various reasons i'm thinknig its about time to draw the bf to a close. Does this sound about right?:
5am 8oz bottle
7am brekkie and water
11am snack and water (or bottle??)
1pm lunch and water
3pm 8oz bottle
5pm tea and water
7pm 8oz bottle
Plus night bottle if needed.
Also, do these reasons sound enough to stop bf, to you independant observers:
Want my body back re weight loss
The appearance of teeth 3 and 4 is leading to a few bites which look to get worse the longer I carry on
Dh can then feed ds2 anytime, not just the new nightbottles, and I can spend more time with ds1 again, who I've felt very distanced from since ds2 was born as dh had to loook after him for the week I was in hosp and he became Daddy's boy.
