So so dobe with breastfeeding. DD is absolutely not

[16more]

Dd is 18 months now and I can’t bare breastfeeding anymore. We’ve just moved into a flat and she’s waking up at stupid o’clock (hence why I’m posting now) demanding boob. Feel terrible on the neighbours having to listen to her exorcist style screaming so I’m just giving in obviously and feeding her. At the moment we still do it before bed and in the morning but cutting morning out then will do evening. The problem is if I try and comfort her any other way at night she just screams louder and louder :( really really had enough and feel upset that I feel like that. I hope someone has some advice but otherwise was good to have a moan!

We had this .. I managed to drop all feeds but the night ones. I'm afraid it took two awful awful nights - crying for two and a half hours without a break awful - and then DD was fine. Nothing else could be done, she didn't want any other comfort, she wasn't hungry, she didn't want her father, or even me, just my boob ... She was a bit younger than your DD.

We had this too. I went away for a week. It was really no issue for me or for DH, it really doesn't last that long. Go for it!

I had this SO much, I didn't manage to stop til he was 22 months, if you google Janet Lansbury and Giving up breastfeeding there's a article that really gave me the strength to stop. Also get a refrain that means no - I was saying, all gone.
It sounds a bit twee but make peace with the fact they will be annoyed, that is a really understandable reaction. You are doing the best for you and your child by knowing your own boundaries and when you need to stop. I carried on for longer than I wanted and it really affected my mental health.

Good luck :)

Go away. And warn the neighbors. Jobs a good un

My daughter had the same proble. She went away for a few days and her DH and I looked after her DD. Since neither of us could breastfeed her, she adapted very quickly to the bottle.

I'm sure that once the boobs disappear, babies learn to settle quite easily.

Oh and when you go cold turkey, get cabbage leaves to put in your bra to stop the pain!
