Nazly, if you think you could manage going to the nursery that might seem like the best solution imho, but I think that possibly will bring its own stresses too.
I have nothing against formula, but it makes me a little sad that I planned to bf until 1 year and now I can not.
I don't think that its going to stop you doing that though. With weaning, you'd be dropping feeds gradually anyway, so all you are doing is replacing one of those feeds with 'food' sooner. If you frame it like that, I think makes it much easier. It shouldn't stop you from being able to breastfeed before work or after work until 1 year in theory.
I hate expressing anywhere but home, even at close friends and family. As much as anything because I feel stressed for time and that's not favourable conditions for expressing (I tend to produce less both because I end up not doing it for long enough and because stress seem to reduce my production). I have done it in the car with batteries on long journeys before; this isn't something I would recommend as much as anything because it eats batteries!
I feel your pain here. DH is very good, but we've ended up eating more ready meals than I would like. He does Scouts two nights a week as well as the odd weekend event or extra meeting and frequently isn't home until gone 7pm too. So its hard. And as DS is getting more mobile I'm finding it harder to express during the day whilst he is awake. I've been trying to get him to breastfeed around lunchtime/nap time to try and a) get him to nap IN his cot and to try and solve that issue a bit, but he's not really buying it atm. If he continues in this way, I'm going to really struggle. He seems to be above average in the mobility stake for his age so I don't think this is helping. All the time I am expressing, I feel like I am not playing with him when I should/could be.
DH and I had a conversation argument about weaning yesterday. I want to give him home cooked food, but DH has pointed out that we are struggling doing that for ourselves at the moment. I don't want to go down the baby ready meal route too much if I'm honest. After all the stress of breastfeeding it feels a little like that was a waste of time if I then do that. Which I know is ultimately ridiculous. So I definitely get where you are coming from. The truth is though, that if I want to continue with the breastmilk, I'm going to have to compromise with it somewhere. (If we had a bigger freezer then that might be an option too, but at the moment its full of milk... Again something that might need to be thought about).
The fact that we seem to be starring down the barrel of the gun of the potential of DS walking whilst still weaning atm doesn't make it seem any easier. We went to baby swimming for the first time today, which DS LOVED but it brought it home that he is ahead of that particular curve. He was just ready to GO and the other babies the same age aren't quite ready for that. As good as that may be, it makes me sad in a way, as I feel like I don't get as much time enjoying him as a baby before he turns into a toddler. Everyone else will catch him up in time anyway. We had to move him out of his co-sleeper today as he's now too big which isn't helping me.
