Now I am here, I cant bring myself to do it. I am so pleased I have been able to booby feed my DS for 5 months, and we have battled through the reflux, and seem to be cruising along so well now. I don't want it to end......

For as long as I was pregnant, and even in all the time I was TTC, I knew that once I finally had my baby I would only be able to breastfeed for 6 months, if I was lucky enough to be able to do so at all. And in my mind, I was able to say, sure, no worries, it is for my health, and I am cool with that. But now, after holding my DS to my breast and feeding him, I am finding it hard to rationalise it.

I met with my neurologist yesterday, and he really needs me to wean so I can start on my meds. I dont need to stop feeding cold turkey, I can take a bit of time, but I still cant do it. I do give my DS a bottle of FF at 7pm, as he is sooooooooo hungry in the evenings, that I could never make my supply catch up, but I am ok with that as I BB feed him at 5pm and then again at 10pm, so the 7pm bottle is just a tummy filler, and he has only had that for a couple of weeks. So last night, I made up FF bottle before I went to bed to give him at the during the night feed but when he woke last night, I just (deliberately ) forgot about the bottle and put him straight to the boob. OOPS...

So how do I bring myself to wean him. He is such a booby monster, and we feed to sleep, and feed for comfort. He feed maybe 8 times a day... We are not very structured, just demand feeding... And feeding to sleep. (but that breaking that habit is for another thread...)

He is OK with the FF bottle, at 7pm, but he I left him with my sister during my DRs appt and when he woke from his nap, he wouldn't take a ff bottle from her, and waited till I got there, and took it from me, which just reinforced my desire to feed him. However, when I had a migraine a couple of weeks ago and he spent the day with his granny, he happily took a couple of bottles from her...

So the long and short... any suggestions / tips or help is greatly appreciated!!!!! TIA!
