I hate to say it, but I'm really starting to hate BFing. I feel like he's chewing on my boob, and it gives me the creeps. But DS loves it, and would have it all day everyday if it were up to him. I don't know how to stop without seriously upsetting him. But I'm starting to really resent it, and get annoyed with him for wanting it.
I work full time, so in the week, I feed him in the mornings and evenings. Usually its immediately when I get home from work, and then once or twice before bed. I then feed him until sleepy before bed. He sleeps until 6am, at which point I will feed him to get another hour or so of sleep. And then he cries in the morning until I feed him again. On the weekends its much more frequent, unless we are out and about and very busy. If he asks for it, and I refuse or try and distract, he goes into full tantrum mode.
I've established a "nursing chair" in his room, which when we're home is the only place where I nurse him. I try to say "do you want to nurse in the nursing chair?" to reinforce the chair's importance. When I've tried to say that we can't nurse when we're out and about because there's no nursing chair, he still screams and cries and shouts for a LOOOONG time.
He's allergic to dairy, so we currently have him drinking soy milk. He's not on a set schedule with the soy milk, so I know this is probably step one to getting him filled up with something besides breastmilk. He eats ok, some days more than others.
I just don't know if I should go cold turkey? Stop coming home before bedtime for a week? at least cut out those feedings? How can I do it so he doesn't think I hate him???
