DS1 is 2 1/2. Had a really hard time eith breastfeeding so mix fed from 3 weeks but was still doing 1 feed a day til 12 months.
DS2 is just 6 months. We both got the feeding right from the start this time so he is exclusively breastfed with exception of a bedtime bottle to allow me time to put DS1 to bed. Although he doesn't cluster feed any more thank goodness he sometimes still feeds for 40+ min at a go....
so sm wondering whether time has come to break out the bottles to speedthings up. I love feeding, but during daytime feeds DS1 gets so clingy and its v difficult to juggle trying to feed and cuddle at the same time. Its made me stop going to toddler groups etc as DS1clings whole time I'm feeding whivch is no fun for anyone.
DH keeps suggesting I stop and saying I've done my bit. Am torn between wanting to do what is right by DS2 with being able to do more with DS1. Is there any health benefit to keeping feeding now, or if its all about bonding should I just accept we've done well but it's time to move on?
