Hi! No direct experience but have you tried calling the lll helpline for advice? Our local lll group cover this topic all the time and as far as I can tell you may not need to stop bf as boobs are "magic" so adjust.
So sorry to hear your LO won't settle with others but I also hear from my lll local group that it does work out & eventually LOs get used to a new normal....
Good luck

Breastfeeding questions or difficulties? No problem! You can contact a La Leche League Leader via our telephone helpline and get the information and support that can make all the difference.
The LLL Leaders who take the calls are mothers like you, answering the phone in their own home. They will listen to your questions and offer practical suggestions and warm support. They have the most up-to-date breastfeeding information available and can pass on the wealth of experience of other breastfeeding mothers, to help you solve the problems and make the decisions that are right for you and your baby.
Because Leaders are mothers too, they may not immediately be available to answer the phone, being perhaps busy with family matters: changing a nappy, picking up children from school, out shopping, or whatever. The Helpline will automatically move onto the next Leader on the list after several rings if the phone isn't answered, so hang on in there. Occasionally there is no one available to take your call, but you can try again later.
The Helpline operates in the evening and weekends too, though many partners and families aren't exactly ecstatic if the phone rings late at night or early in the morning! We ask for your help in avoiding those times unless your problem is really urgent.
It is because they are active mothers, caring for their families, that makes Leaders so well placed to support you in your mothering.
