I would add this is my 5th baby so im surprised i dont know my own answer?! So my little one is 13.5 months, he's at nursery full time, so bf was down to a morning feed and a night feed anyway. These were a good half hour feed each.
I've just had norovirus on top of permanent
anaemia and I've got to go into hosp in 2
weeks for an op. Usually I stop the day after their first birthday but I think because it's probably my last baby I'm feeling a bit sad about that part of my life going away. However I've got to stop I'm really very ill and run down emotionally and physically.
Thursday morning was the last feed. It's now Sunday morning. I'm still full to the brim with milk and it hurts. I can't remember whether to give ds a sneaky feed or whether to express or grin and bare it. I don't want mastitis on top of everything else. I really don't want to stop but I must. So a hh and a few suggestions please. I would add ds although will drink cows milk or formula quite happily is cross with me he can't snuggle in.
