First of all let me say I love bfing and wish I could keep going until 19 mth dd self-weans...however I am 38, DD was an IVF baby and if I want a sibling I really need to stop and go back to IVF. She is desperate for 'num num' at bedtime, during the night (she has eczema and wakes with horrid itching and it settles her), and at 4/5 for early breakfast. My left boob doesn't make much milk (sorry for TMI) and so she will have a quick go and then is happy to leave it. My right boob has milk. During the day she has Oatmilk (milk allergy) and accepts this fine though will ask for num num when tired etc. I don't want to stop cosleeping and in the week my DH is away so I have no backup. She accepts and understands if something is 'broken' or 'gone'. I just don't want to battle. We have a lovely attachment and I have loved feeding her: I just don't want it all to end in battles. I really think if I can switch it off somehow we will both be sad but at least I am not refusing her, she can have a go and then we can have a cuddle instead. I am going to see my GP on mon: is there anything to ask for to make my milk stop?
