I am on day 2 of dropping DS's morning feed

and he's not happy. I always hoped to let him self wean (and he does still have a bedtime feed) but the morning one really takes it out of me.
He is so upset though :(

I'm sorry he's so upset about this.
How old is he? Have you replaced it with anything?
When I dropped my DC's morning feeds I gave them a cup of cow's milk while having a cuddle on my knee. (They were both over a year old by then) They still got their mummy time and a drink, only the source was changed.
Could that help your DS at all?

Yes, you're right I should do that, but the morning feed used to be help yourself pretty much, in bed and I usually don't have the energy to struggle downstairs and get milk. Think I will have to force myself too though as it might help a bit (even just by distracting him).
Yesterday he was saying he felt hungry before we set off for nursery and that's the first time I can ever remember him doing that (he has breakfast there). Then I realised he usually has probably a pint of full fat milk every morning :(

Day 3 was this morning of course and he was ever so slightly better but not much

Well this morning was better no tears or tantrums, he asked about it but seemed so sad. I feel like I'm depriving my boy.
