AIBU to not want to stop breastfeeding

[Rubbercoffee]

My little one is 18m and I'm proud that we are still breastfeeding, I struggled through all my mental health issues and have done all the night feeds and I co sleep with her. I returned to work 6 months ago and part of my job includes on calls twice a month. I managed to "get out of doing" on calls for the last 6 months due to my mental health and occupational health giving me some grace period.

It was agreed I would start on calls again beginning of may.

I'm still breastfeeding and that includes feeding to sleep and during the night

Me and my DH have just had a huge row as he thinks I'm weak and no willpower to just give up. He thinks we should bite the bullet and essentially go cold turkey for as long as it takes her to get used to it . I'm more along the lines of why give up a great thing for only a very small percentage of nights that it might be an issue....

Giving up breastfeeding completely seems really overwhelming to me (but on some levels a little relieving) but I don't want to
He kept saying it's not normal (it is) and that of I want to keep breastfeeding I need to quit my job 😡

AIBU to want to have my cake and eat it ? Or am I putting my little one through turmoil twice a month when I'm not there , to then give her the breast when I am there, to then repeat it again and again?

ARGH!! Zombie thread!!

I am on baby #3, fed the first two for 3+ years and work shifts. They really are adaptable. I went back to work shortly after each of them turned one and they got used to me husband putting them to bed and comforting them in the night when I wasn't there.

It's a shame your husband isn't supportive but it's not his decision. He only has to get involved two nights a month!

I worked nights and bf each for years. My dp found his own routine with each - that is being a father. Your dp needs to do the same rather than tantrum and get you both to stop something that works. He is being lazy.
