Losing my mind trying to stop breastfeeding!

[Mamaisoverit29]

I had two under two, now two under three. Breastfeeding felt like the right option as first child was breastfed and came off easily at 8 months no issues.
Baby two would never take a bottle or a dummy, no matter how much I tried. Point blank refusal, complete opposite to baby one who took a bottle and a dummy with pleasure.
Now baby is 16 months and I cannot for the life of me wean from breastfeeding. I’m so over it, I can’t sit down without her wanting to attach to me and have been ready to stop for a long while now. I just can’t take the guilt/stress of withholding. I lone parent most of time due to work commitments and that doesn't help as I don’t have the energy to put up with two screaming toddlers going through one thing or another (teething, chicken pox, attention seeking) it all becomes too much and I do easily give in and think I’ll try again later. But I really need help this time! I need some real advice as it’s affecting my mental health.

Just say no and distract. Wear a tight top so they can’t get at you.

I’m sorry, it is so so tough when you are ready to stop but they are not.

do you have any breastfeeding support near you? They normally help mums too stop as well as start.

i don’t know if it would work for you, but for me, I chose to only feed in one place rather than being accessible as all times. Which stopped the climbing all over me. And then I just reduced the feed times until they get bored of only having very quick feeds. I made it boring and then when we did other things tried to be more exciting.

young children are exhausting, you will get through it x
