Breastfeeding

Following for tips as she is feeding like a newborn again 😩

I think I’m going to cold turkey the day feeds and just deal with the tantrums 😫 then try phase out the morning/ night ones after. Luckily mine doesn’t wake in the night anymore but he’s pretty constant/ demanding in the day!

I hate to break it to you but weaning from breastfeeding often doesn’t improve night time sleep 😭

We’ve just stopped breastfeeding and it’s worked out really well! I was really concerned as we had EBF and she didn’t like a bottle at first.

I initially stopped the overnight feeds. It’s hard at first as I knew that’s what she wanted but don’t give in. Her dad went in and settled her if he could which helped.
After a week or so she had stopped waking for night feeds. A couple of weeks later I slowly stopped the daytime feed (it was usually mid afternoon when she woke from her nap). We replaced this feed with a snack.
By this point I was back at work a couple of days a week so wasn’t around on those days to be feeding. I only fed morning and evening before bed. We did continue with 1 morning and 1 evening feed for a couple of months.
We introduced milk (little one is CMPA so has oat milk) in a sippy cup at first but she wasn’t all that interested so switched to MAM bottled with the X teat. Once she realised it was nice it’s worked great. I’ve recently stopped all together

(Continued) by switching the morning feed for a bottle for a couple of weeks and then alternating the evening feed with a bottle for a week. Then stopped. I haven’t had discomfort doing it this way and my little one hasn’t been upset. She’s also sleeping so much better!
I hope you can find a way that works for you x
