Not sure whether this is the right place for my question but I will ask anyways......
I am currently weaning DS2 off the boob and onto formula cause my hormones are all out of wack and creating some major drama's with my body.
How do I go about weaning him off?? At the moment he is having every second feed from the boob. Is this best or do I just go cold turkey and cut him off altogether?? If I continue the way I am going, when do I start making it every third feed and so on??
He settles alot better and easier on the formula so I don't feel as guilty as what I thought I would. I am currently trying the Bellamy Organic on him and it hasn't constipated him as yet but I don't think it will till he is completely on the formula.
Hi Amelia. Just do what you think is right. I was told that you drop a feed a week to wean properly. I was comp feeding with both my dd's and never really had any supply but I do know that cold turkey is painful for you. I think it's good to gradually intro formula while continuing bf for a bit just to let thei gut get used to it. My girls were full time ff from four months old on s26 gold and have never been constipated. I think maybe drop a feed a week if you want some sort of plan but you can go quicker than that. I hope that helps!
What is the best way to do this??
