Thanks everyone. I have successfully dropped one of regular timed feeds, using the "reverse" comp feed method (thanks Kmn) over the last couple of days. I did a small bottle of FF and gradually made it bigger then today, no boob required at that feed. Still got slight full bbs but nothing a tiny hand express didn't fix.
With choosing the next feed to drop, do I do one at the other end of the day, so the one we dropped was the around 5pm feed, so maybe I drop the mid morning one so there is still a BB feed at 2ish, to keep my BBs ok?
Anyway, I think I just need to take it slowly and recognise that it is my weaning as much as DS's and take the time to get myself used to it too, and we will be fine. We have done so well to date, and I do know that and am thankful that we were/are able to have this. And that we will be ok moving on from here, and a healthy mum is the most important thing here.
(Cass, there is one way I can stay off the meds longer, that is to have another baby, but in order to do that I need to get my AF back, so would have to drop some feeds anyway ...)
