Stopping BF at 2yo

[MrsG95]

Any help?
I currently bf my (just turned) 2yo. We’re at the point where he’s hurting me when BF (He knows he’s doing it) and I cannot handle it anymore.
How do I stop? My HV has been a nightmare and pretty much said I’m on my own. She said because I’m a single parent I’m going to struggle to quit and that’s all she said.

I don’t know what else to do. I’m so glad I could feed him for so long, after failing to BF my 1st, but i think we need to stop now

How often is he feeding MrsG? Is he feeding at night?

My experience was quite similar, HV basically said you'll work something out🙄
Not advisable but I ended up rocking mine to sleep standing up. As soon as we went into the nursery & sat down, he expected to BF so I had to break that habit. It only took a couple of nights but obviously now I've subbed BFing for something else so we're stuck rocking to sleep every night but I was so desperate to stop because I'm suffering with hypermesis, I'd have done anything!

I know that's not a helpful solution so I hope someone else is along soon to give better advise but you're not alone, I feel like everyone gets to a point where it's just too hard.

Will he take a bottle of milk? (I'm sure you've tried this!)
My girls (18 months when we stopped) couldn't make the bottles work with their mouths but they liked chewing on it in the end.
But you have to make a decision and stick to it. Explain to him that you're going to have a bottle (or cup) of milk (or water) now at bedtimes and maybe read him a story while he drinks (or doesn't drink it!) Be prepared for a week of upset but kids are adaptable and as long as your there still giving him that one to one time he should cope.
Just be consistent and show him you love him.
