A bit of back story.... I exclusively breastfed my baby for the first 6 months, we did shared mat/pat leave - I pumped at work, then fed him in the morning, night and evening.
His weaning process was quite good, we did baby led weaning and he was quite a good eater .... his eating is now terrible and has been for about 2 months and I cook and cook and cook. He loves fruit and all sweet things eg yoghurt, blueberry pancakes (although alpro with minimal sugar), he's usually sugar free though. This may be due to him having milk but there is days where he eats well (doesn't mean he doesn't wake at night though).
I don't think my boobs ever had that much milk as he drinks now, it's become a habit and I have no clue how to break it, he now drinks 8oz before bed, 4h later he has another 6 & 4h later he has another 6. I know it's not ideal, shit really, and I know he shouldn't be having it but he is screaming for it until that bottle is in his mouth & im tired, I work 50h weeks & have a 40 minute commute to work each day, so I end up shouting at DH to get a bottle.
I'm tired and exhausted, so please don't judge. I've come to this place for advice, not judgement. Most parents know that we all had this picture in our head how things wou ld be but often, that's not how it works. I wish it was - he'd definitely be sleeping through the night. P.s. I am not one to do cry it out, I simply just can't - it physically hurts in my heart to hear him cry so hysterically.
