I enjoy breast feeding him and also really like having it up my sleave in case he gets sick or wakes up at night iykwim?
That's really good thinking! The other thing to think on is that breastfeeding changes a lot as your baby transitions into a toddler. Often times they cut back on their own. Or, even if not, you can usually cut back and chop and change without too much trouble (well, depending on the child of cuorse) as they don't NEED the milk for sustenance. It's still great for them of course, but they can always have something else if you're not there or just don't want to. And that side of things gets easier and easier as they get older since you can explain that the milk is resting now, or whatever. So this sort of compromise - toddler still gets feeds and mum gets time without - can work quite well a lot of the time.

All the best
