DD is still bf (and also bf to sleep!) but eating well and we've been cutting down with a view to weaning. She'd started sleeping through more or less. But I've ruined everything by pushing the next step too quickly and now have an insatiable milk monster on my hands. I hate it: instead of cutting down bf further she has upped the quantity/frequency 500%. I want to stop bf or at least make it an occasional or once a day thing.
What caused the problems was a few weeks I decided to try and cut the association between milk and sleep. Partly so DH could put her to bed but also partly to cut down on excess suckling incase it was affecting my fertility.
So I fed her and then trying to put her down still awake-ish a few times. This didn't work and she screamed blue murder every time I've done it, for ages (during which we've cuddled her and then I've eventually relented). However since then she has massively upped how much milk she wants. She is feeding every three hours, very enthusiastically (i.e. not for comfort), and won't take no for an answer. I would say in the last 24 hours she's had 7 feeds, plus a couple of large cups of cow's milk. My body is struggling to keep up and I personally really am sick of nursing now. What shall I do? DH is supportive.
