My DS is 9mo and is currently on 3bf per day - 7am, 4pm and 6.30pm. I would really like to stop bf soon - return to work in 2mths and want to have stopped by then (considered it, but decided I don't want to feed morning and night when I'm working) and really would like to have my body back to myself now as I've found bf so tiring and not very easy.
Although DS has always taken a bottle (was mix fed for a long while) and takes water happily from his sippy cup, we had problems when we first tried to drop that feed last week when DH was around. DS was beside himself - batting bottle and cups away, screaming, getting in a right state. Since then (I'm feeding him again at that feed) he has seemed more clingy and even more into bf than before.
DH asked if I could drop the 6.30pm feed first as DS always seems less fussed by it - DS always seems to take a big feed at 4pm (he rarely wants it before so by then is really hungry) then a big tea, and only a short feed at 6.30. So it makes sense that that might be a better feed to drop, but I'm wary of my boobs not coping for 15 hours.
Anyone dropped the evening feed first before the afternoon feed? How did it go? Any tips on how to drop that afternoon feed?
