DS is one and I'm dropping his afternoon feed as I'm going back to work soon so he'll just have a feed in the morning and evening from now on. The plan is to give up breastfeeding altogether by the end of the year (but this isn't set in stone just think I might want a bit of a break before (hopefully) getting pregnant again)
I feel a bit sad about it but also not sure whether to replace the feed with a beaker of cow's milk or not. He hasn't really taken much milk from a beaker so far and doesn't drink much water (although he drinks plenty with meals). He already has a fruit or rice cake snack at about 4 p.m.
I'm concerned about him getting enough food/liquid.
If it were someone else I'd probably just recommend offering a yoghurt and some water...maybe I just don't want to give it up!
