Really don't want to stop, but...

I need to gently start weaning ds, almost 1yo, off the boob.

Ideally I would still like to do morning and bed time feeds only. Is this possible?

I feel like I need a bit of reassurance that he can cope without me. I desperately need a night out and as long as I'm breastfeeding, ds will settle for nothing less. If he wakes ( which he often does) in the evening, only I will do. No one has ever successfully put him to bed other than me. I have missed so many big events ( weddings etc) because I have to be at home for bedtime.

I desperately want to continue but I also HAVE I nightwean for my sanity. I am severely sleep deprived, still battling pnd, and relationship with dh is rocky because of all the sleepless nights, exhaustion, competing tiredness etc.

I am considering CC - does anyone know if this is likely to affect the bfeeding
