Hi I hope I've not posted this in wrong place, website is tricky to navigate on my tablet. I've got a quick question about weaning and thought this might be good place to get some ideas/experience from others.
Quick background, mum of 2, daughter is 10 and I bf her for 3 months but it was a long time ago and I don't remember how I switched to bottles. I found bf very hard and had some pnd issues so wasn't very dedicated to bf at the time.
Baby son is 6 and a half months now. Bf has been a great success this time round aside from one bout of masititis a couple of months ago (all ok after a week of hell).
Issue: Son is weaning onto food nicely and now has 2 teeth. He keeps biting me!!!!! Its driving me potty and really hurts and i want to start weaning him to formula but maintain night feeding as Bf. He will take a bottle and has had aptimal a few times with no issues (as I had to attend some work courses).
I am really worried about getting mastitis again and also dont want my milk to dry up completely. Does anyone have advice on how to do it?
TLDR: how can I wean bf baby into bottles without getting mastitis and whilst still maintaining a milk supply for night feeds?
Thanks in advance!
