Breastfeeding

Gentle ways to stop breastfeeding my 19 months old baby

I have just been diagnosed with cancer and I have about 3/4 weeks before I need to get some tests that require to stop breastfeeding as they are invasive. So I want to use this time to do it the gentle way. During the day is not much of an issue as she is entertained and doesn’t breastfeed as much anymore, but nap time and during the night she does a lot. Her whole 3h nap is latched onto my breast and during the night she breastfeed to sleep and during the night latches a few times without waking up as we cosleep. Any experience or advice is welcomed. TIA

Breastfeeding

I miss breastfeeding my (big) baby

I never thought I would breastfeed as long as I did… we decided and it felt right to stop at his 2nd birthday. It’s been a little over a week and I miss cuddling and snuggling with him so much. He won’t sit still for other activities where we are close like that. We read a lot of books so that helps a little. I’m sure it will pass but I’m super 😔 sad. Anyone else through this? How long did it last you?

Baby sleep

Anyone else?

My LO is nearly 19 months and still breastfeeds. She has 1 when she wakes, 1 to go down for a nap and 1 for bed. She still feeds are 3 times a night. Admittedly, I find it the quickest and easiest way to get her back to sleep. We also co sleep. Just wondering if anyone else LO is the same? As I’m starting to worry that she is still feeding a lot for her age. She’s been going through big changes recently as myself and her dad have separated so I’m sure a lot of it is due to comfort. But I’m just wondering if this is still normal at this age? I’m not necessarily bothered about stopping BF as I feel that it’s still what she needs at the moment, especially with everything that’s going on.
