So I have stopped Breastfeeding my DD. Not how I planned it at all as wanted to feed my baby till se was at least 1 or until she made the decision herself to wean.
I know I have made the right decision but still feel quite emotional. After almost 7 months of battling on with severe reflux, a stint at Tresillian, 3 bouts of mastitis and multiple blocked ducts, nipple confusion (after a stupid Paed wanted her on some special formula - only lasted a day) and pain association with with the BB's!
She has taken to the bottle well - such a change to get through a feed without her screaming the house down and coming on and off multiple times - and the best part I had forgotten what a "wet nappy" feels like! So I know she is finally taking in enough fluids. Can't wait to get her weighed next week to see if she has actually gained some weight.
Now for myself to get over the latest bout of mastitis and I feel it will be onwards and upwards for us both...
Thanks for listening gals just had to write about the end...
