Ready to stop bf or upset about parent's separation?

[HungryClocksGoBackFourSeconds]

DD is 2yrs and 3mo. She's been showing no signs of slowing down on bf or stopping but this past week my husband has moved out and she has been quite upset. She is refusing the breast, a few times she has asked for it then realised and refused it. I'm not sure if this is because she is ready to stop (which is a little sad, but fine) or if she is doing it because it's something she has control over during an unsettled time in her life?

Should I express to keep up the supply and keep offering in case she is likely to want to start feeding again, or just leave it and accept this is the end?

It does sound like a strike, natural weaning happens gradually rather than suddenly. It's entirely up to you whether you want to stop or not but if you don't then you could try lots of skin-to-skin and feeding her when she's half-asleep. I hope things settle down for you both soon

Managed to coax her into a feed earlier so hopefully she's over it now.

Thanks for the advice, I will keep at it

Thanks grapes! We had an awful start to it and I'm very proud of myself for sticking it out. It was definitely worth it.
