Long term breast feeders Please help.

[poppycat04]

I've EBF DS3 for 12 months now. He is allergic to CMP, egg and peanuts which we only discovered at 6mo on starting solids. I have also co slept. Am now completely and utterly exhausted and think pretty close to PND. My DH wants me to stop BF. We are in separate beds, haven't been out on our own once in the last year. Our relationship is not particularly great at the moment, but that is a different thread. I am considering seriously stopping BF but DS3 is probably our last child and it's breaking my heart. That sounds over dramatic but it's the truth. However I have to consider DH and Ds1&2 too.
How can I explain what BF means to DS3& I to DH? Please be gentle.
On phone so can't preview for paragraphs etc.

I haven't time to read all the replies you've had just now but as someone who has fed two DC into toddlerhood I can sympathise so much. I work as well and some days I can't string a sentence together.

I think the advice to consider each area separately is great - the first thing that happens when you're so tired and close to the situation is you lose perspective.
Just remember how quickly it gets better now - as walking and talking start to happen life gradually gets to be more normal. Prioritise rest first, then consider everything else. I'll come back later if I get a chance.
