Want to get pregnant but I’m Breastfeeding

Hi ladies. My little one is 4.5 months and for a number of personal reasons, my age being one of them, my hubby and I would like to start trying ASAP for baby number 2. However I am still breastfeeding my lo and my periods have not returned. He feeds often and round the clock. I’ve tried supplementing some feeds with formula to space out breastfeeds but it hasn’t been enough to bring back my period. I am reluctant to stop breastfeeding completely as I feel so guilty about doing that when he’s so little but the alternative might mean waiting many many more months before fertility returns. I’m just wondering if anyone has moved from bf to ff for this reason and how you and baby coped emotionally and physically? And did it work? Thanks in advance!
