Advice needed on getting ds off the boob!

[helips]

Ds is 20 months old and has 1 breastfeed before bed. I am 12 weeks pregnant and feel like now is the time to stop breastfeeding so I have a break before I start all over again! I'm going on holiday next week and was thinking that because it will be a change of environment and ds bedtime routine will be different to stop then and hopefully by the time we get home he will have forgotten all about breastfeeding.

Just wanted some opinions/advice really, does this sound cruel and will ds be upset when we get home and he realises no more boob? Also, should I change his bedtime routine slightly when we get home, say more books or play music to distract him? He drinks a little milk from a beaker before his bath so I am not worried about him not having any milk.

Thanks!

The change in bedtime routine, I think, is a very good idea. You will also need to be prepared to be strong, and get lots of help from your partner.

My DS1 stopped breastfeeding himself at 19 months after a bad cold upset his routine. I breastfed DS2 til he was 19 months also (and knackered from still nightfeeding).
My partner helped by distracting and comforting DS2 during the evening & at night when I decided to stop. We had 2 difficult eves/nights and that was it, near enough.
Lots of distractions when he starts looking for his feeding cuddle. We used favourite music and books too.
You seem to know what to do already ... just be consistent once you decide to stop, and make sure your partner knows the plan too !

Good luck x
