Stopping breast feeding

[Elf84]

Hi would love some advice. I've been breast feeding my baby who us 28 weeks but I have to go back to work soon and need to stop as I'm not able to pump enough for bottles throughout the day. Not stopping because I don't want to do it there is no better feeling than your baby nursing off you! He has bottles and now and again he will have formula so I'm not worried about him taking it. However sometimes he just wants me and the thought of having to stop comforting him by refusing my breast is killing me. He will turn and open his mouth even if he's sleeping. I didn't think I would feel so emotional about this but I feel terrible. It's so upsetting! Any advice will be much appreciated

Elf, most mothers in your situation continue to partially breastfeed - breastfeed morning and evening/night and maybe a bit more at weekends....is there some reason why you cannot do that option?

If you don't want to stop then just give him bottles when you are at work and feed him as normal when you're at home.

I managed to keep a morning and night BF going but bottle fed in the day. BF then came to a natural, gradual end which for me was a nice way to say goodbye to it. Hope you find something that suits you
