Decided last week to completely wean 1yr old DD2 off of boob, mostly cause I felt she was only waking several times a night for the sake of a guzzle that she didn't really need. Seems like my instinct was right and she is now sleeping through beautifully... what a pity that I'm not!
She wasn't feeding much (only middle of the night) before I dropped these last feeds and in many respects she seems generally happier and more content (possibly cause she is sleeping so much better) so I'm not worried about her, but i honestly don't remember it being so hard on ME last time 'round! A week later I'm still leaking like a sieve during the night and have the most enormous, uncomfortable boobs (I'll miss them when they're back to normal. Not the uncomfortable part though.) - they're not painful but certainly enough to make me think twice before giving DDs a cuddle if I might get an accidental elbow...
Sigh. Any thoughts? yes, have tried cabbage leaves...
thanks!
