Due to various reasons I need to stop breastfeeding my 6mo and have started the weaning off process. I've read variuos threads here and googling on techniques and emotional aspects of it but still find it hard.
I couldn't bf my first for long due to lack of support when I encountered problems which I made sure I had for second. One of the hardest things I've ever done esp since it was incredibly painful- thrush etc. I also have back problems and on the whole don't enjoy it the way some people do. So I expected that giving it up would be easy and never imagined it would last so long.
Particularly find it hard when dd slobers all over me and rejects the bottle when I'm around to the point where I have to get the nanny to feed her instead. I feel like she thinks that I'm rejecting her- very guilty. She's weaning well, almost 90th percentile of weight from bf alone and on the whole great. I cuddle her more now than before.
Just want to know how others feel and your experiences.
