DS is 10 months old and ebf. He's a big baby and feeds a lot more than websites say is average and now, with 5 teeth, is very strong, wriggly and bitey.
I'm sitting here with sudocrem on one hideously painful bitten red swollen nipped while he feeds from the other which is also red and sore.
I want to stop. I feel trapped and worn down by breastfeeding. Any romantic notions I had about it have disappeared. I've done well to get this far and surely he won't suffer from stopping now?
I fed DD till she self weaned at two and just cannot face going that long again this time.
AIBU to want to stop? I feel like just stopping and wearing a polo neck and offering him a cup of milk every time he wants a drink. Is that cruel? He eats 3 meals a day and loves food.
I suspect I'd crack as soon as he cried though.
Can anyone tell me how they successfully stopped breastfeeding?
