Please inspire me to continue bf my 8mo

The bckground - I bf my ds till 15m and only stopped when he self weaned as I was pg. I really wanted to do extended bf-ing then and was sad that I couldn't.

This time round it's so different- I can't wait till dd stops bf. and I feel guilty for feeling that way! She feeds at least 4 times a night (we are trying ncss with limited success) and I've gotten into the habit of feeding to sleep (which of course makes things worse as its now a comfort as well as a source of food). Ds refuses to move into his bed and is sill occupying his cot so dd is in bed with us for now (so my boobs are all too easily accessible). I don't really want to stop bf so soon (although it is very tempting as I think moving to formula will be easier and i'll get more sleep). Please inspire me to continue??

No inspiration as such, but from personal experience formula doesn't necessarily mean they sleep longer and once I stopped breastfeeding I realised it was so much easier to just whip out a nipple than it is to faff around with sterilisers, powder and boiling water, heating to the right temperature, I really regretted the fact that I stopped breastfeeding purely from a convenience perspective!
