After a couple of months of vile pooing (but big weight loss, so not all bad!) my doctor tells me I have a parasite in my lower intestine. I need to take antibiotics to sort it & they're not compatible with bfing.
My DD needs to be bf to sleep and then again up to 3 times a night. She goes NUCLEAR if not. I've pretty much stopped bfing her apart from at bedtime/during the night.
How do I stop bfing, whilst causing the least stress to DD? Is it kinder in the long run just to simply 'turn off the taps' and stop bfing altogether or do I break the feed to sleep dependency thing first (ie don't feed her to sleep/feed her for progressively shorter periods when she wakes at night) and then phase out the last feed of the day.
Be very grateful for advice.
