How do I phase out BF gently? Need to get AF back so can TTC

The PPO did not work for my little booby addict
And yeah, I felt pretty silly feeding my son bananas in the middle of the night - and all to try and get my period!

Thanks so much everyone. I do have the No Cry Sleep Solution, but I got really put off by all the sleep logs etc - it just seemed too hard even to start. I'm sure it does work if you commit to it though.

I am reassured to hear that the most important thing will be to cut out the night feeds, and perhaps I could still BF during the day.

I'm sure he is getting milk during the night, and perhaps more than I think. We do give him a bottle during the night as well, if he seems unsatisfied by the breast.

We have started giving DS supper most nights - some apple and custard just before sleep to try to fill him up a bit. He still likes his very early morning BFs though.

We are heading off overseas in a week, and I have decided that I will really start this process once we get back. I'm dreading it though, it feels really mean.

Thanks again
xx

i never used the sleep logs in the book, but i did use some of the methods suggested, like the one to help a baby wean off feeding to sleep. Don't be put off by the logs, just skip to the chapters that are relevant to you.
