My baby is currently 4 months old, and is breastfed. I need to stop breastfeeding by around 6 months for medical reasons so I have 2 months to make the transition, should I use the full 2 months to wind it down?
He's never had any formula before and only had expressed milk in a bottle a handful of times so I'm worried about taking breastfeeding away. He feeds a LOT still (about 9 times a day) and loves it, he feeds really well and it's very comforting to him.
Mentally I'm nowhere near ready to stop but I don't have a choice, so want to make the change as easy as possible on both me and him. I want to cry when I think about it which I know is silly but it feels special and I won't be able to bf any future kids so it's a very emotional subject. Any ideas would be gratefully received!
