Looking for some advice/tips on stopping breastfeeding. My boy has just turned 5months and I’d like to stop breastfeeding at 6months when we start him on solids.
He’s been combi-feeding for about 1.5 months and takes a bottle fine which is great so I know the transition to bottles is not a worry.
What worries me is the emotional/comfort side of it…
I’d say he’s 80% formula 20% boob in the day but through the night he is just wanting boob and has been very comfort booby since his 4month regression.
He’s super clingy to me at the moment and a lot of the times even Dad can’t settle him when he wakes (when he’s not due a feed). I’ve started to try and get into the habit of not boobing him back to sleep when he wakes. So this is my worry really, how long will it take for him to not be sad/get used to not having boob for comfort??
Any help/tips/advice greatly appreciated. I’m a FTM who never thought she could conceive naturally and I’m bloody proud of myself for breastfeeding this long. I just feel ready to stop whilst I’ve had a beautiful BF journey with my boy so far 🥰
