DD is nearly one and I have a few questions about how to approach BFing when she turns one. I know that she still needs milk whether it is bm or cows milk in a cup. But, how did you convince your DH/DP that it's a good idea to continue BFing. DH is not very supportive and keeps on talking about when I'm going to stop BFing and how I'm going to go about stopping. I've told him that I'm not sure that I want to stop or how I want to go about stopping. Most of the time I don't want to stop. It is only inconvenient a small amount of the time to BF DD so on the whole I would rather carry on BFing her.
Also, I habitually offer DD a BF on waking in the morning and at bedtime. If I'm around then I sometimes offer her a BF before her afternoon snack as well but it doesn't seem to bother her if she doesn't have it. I keep on reading on Mnet about toddlers who only feed every few days. When do you stop habitually offering breast feeds? If you don't feed, do you offer milk in a cup instead to make sure that LO is getting enough milk?
I'm sure that I'll have more questions but that will do for now!
