DD is 13 months and still feeds twice a day. I have recently been diagnosed with stage 2 rectocele and cystocele. I am having physio and have a pessary fitted while I decide when to have surgery. Physio is not optimistic that it will help enough to avoid surgery. Also have pessary fitted which is helping cystocele but not rectocele.
Have been advised that stopping breastfeeding will help and that it takes six months from stopping to return to normal.
I'm confused if I should stop now or not. She's showing no signs of wanting to stop and would probably feed much more if I offered it. I feel a bit sad to stop but at the same time she doesn't "need" it now and I wouldn't mind some improvement that stopping may bring!
Has anybody stopped feeding for this reason and regretted it or was it worth it? If I'm only feeding twice a day will there really be that much difference?
Thanks in advance
