Hi,
Feeling upset even asking but I’ve gone over 14months exclusively breastfeeding it’s been great but now I work part time (need the money) and in September I’m going back to study part time and well me and her dad never do dinners together, I bail on friends meals as I’m scared I need to be back for her.
She doesn’t feed all the time at night she does. But mornings, after any food, when she’s tired, so yeah maybe a lot but she can go without them sometimes. I can’t get her to sleep without milk, she feeds all day with me. When she’s just with others she’s fussy, crying, emotional waiting for me to get home. I loved feeding her but I need to sort out my future for the both of us. I don’t mind night feeds but trying to get her off is impossible. She won’t take pumped milk in a bottle no matter who gives it, not half and half with cows milk, tried full cows milk, tried me going out and she just won’t and will just cry. Tried formula. Nothing works. I tried getting her on bottles around month six but we gave up as it was just not working. She eats great but still wants milk. I tell her no she goes hysterical, she pulls my top down no matter where we are. Im running out of time to get her off day feeds but I don’t know how? I’m really at a loss
Thank you, no judgement please it’s been a long and hard decision. I’m not sure if I’m ready for it but it’s time
