Going Cold Turkey???

[Bex22]

I've been EBF for 6 months and want to stop- got loads of fertility issues and want to start trying for another babe in coupla months. Only prob is bubs is having none of it and it is really stressing me out- feel so guilty and emotional. He won't drink formula which I have been offering in a cup at lunchtime and we tried a bottle at bed-time today with my husb but he only accepted 20ml so gave up and I fed him.

I'm also really worried because keep reading about how they should have 600ml and worrying that i'm depriving him of milk.

Some of previous threads seem to advocate going cold turkey but don't know if I can steel myself to do this.

Any ideas??

i'm kind of going cold turkey at the moment, i say kind of cause my boobs were quite sore last night so i had a hot bath and massaged them just enough to relieve the pressure, probably a good idea though to aviod mastitis, might take a tiny bit longet but will be more comfortable, been taking paracetamol 4 times a day too. Only advice i can give for the formula is that my ds rejects it if it's not quite warm enough, i make it quite warm, without being too hot obviously and he guzzles it down, my ds is only 3 weeks old though so can imagine yours is not as easily fooled. Sorry can't give anymore advice, hopefully someone will come along soon who knows a bit more about it

i am tempted as he has 5 teeth now and it can bloody hurt (he is 9 months now).
r u having periods yet?

No sign of periods but I think I might still be ovulating??? Mine has 2 teeth but doesn't seem to be using them thank goodness!! How many feeds a day are you on???

Bex - if you are not having periods chances are you are not yet ovulating. my periods did not come back unti lthe 6 month mark and they are 40 days apart so have no idea when i ovulate. not using anything either! i usually feed him during the night as we were co sleeping up until last night so one at bedtime and one in morning (i work you see) and a couple between 3 and 7. i still go by when he wants it (demand).
