(depressed) weaning from breast to formula HELP
I have been breast feeding my baby for almost 7 mths and I hate it and the only reason I have continued with it is because he won't have formula. I am so sick of breastfeeding it is controlling my life. I had pre-natal depression with this baby and post-natal depression with my first DS. I feel myself crying and getting frustrated everyday atm. I just know it would all be easier if he bottle fed. He is still not sleeping through so I am still on 3-4 hours sleep a night and with my husband at work and a toddler to look after I can never seem to get a break. I just want him to stop breast feeding so when my husband is home he can help more. I had no trouble at all with DS No. 1 with sleeping or getting him on to formula at 6 mths. So if anyone has any advice that may help him to bottle feed I would appreciate it very much as I know that most of my low moods atm is because I am sick of breast feeding.
Thanks :pray:
