Weaning off breastfeeding

My little on is 1 in a couple of weeks and I’m wanting to stop breastfeeding at this point - it’s only really two feeds a day now so I wondered if I’m ok to try and introduce some cows milk for one of these even though they are just shy of 1? Or is it best to wait a bit longer. Any advice please?!

I've used up my formula and put my daughter straight onto cows milk x

I have introduced cows milk as I wean off breastfeeding and did with my eldest. I think if they are having a varied diet and having their multi vitamin it’s fine at this point.

If ur baby wakes in night do u offer the boob still? I find its the easiest way to get her ti sleep. As she does take a dummy. ://

how often are you offering cows milk? X

Mine is 1 in 2 weeks, I'm in the same position, I tried to offer cows milk but he spat it out, anyone had the same?? How do you get them to like it??

I'm in the same position. I am offering cows milk (she never had formula), shell drink a few sips from a beaker but not much.

Breastfeeding

Does it ever feel better? The actual feeding part of it is going really well and baby boy is growing so well. I’m struggling with how my boobs feel day to day - it’s really getting me down most days. The let downs make me feel awful and sounds silly but, I am also really missing not wearing a bra! 9 weeks postpartum and still getting fairly engorged, even with comfort pumping.

Any advice or just shared stories would help. I’m so torn between carrying on because I enjoy the feeding side of it or switching to formula.

Help! First time mum -

I have a 4 month old and now all of a sudden when he’s been asleep for 1hr30/2hrs he will wake up screaming (high pitched) I’ve tried winding him sometimes that helps, I’ve tried bicycle legs & bringing his knees up but that doesn’t seem to help but he brings his knees up himself sometimes but nothing happens. I’ve noticed since the 4 month mark he has started to struggle passing wind downwards! Any tips?

Big nursing bras!

I’m looking for recommendations for good nursing bras for bigger breasted ladies!

I’m currently in a 38H which seems to be the biggest size done at M&S (UK based mama here) and it’s snug and not as supportive as I’d like. When I look online, they mainly seem to be sized S, M, L, XL etc rather than bra sizes.

Any recommendations please?

Bath Time

Help! My baby is 3 and a half weeks old. Every bath she goes in quite happy but will only stay like this for a very few mins, if I try to clean her or move her we have tears and after a few mins the same. It's like she is scared. Our current baby bath is quite big should I try a different one? Looking for any suggestions as want her to enjoy bath time not be upset and I'm scared I'm going to make her hate it😢💗

Strange question

Hello. I would identify myself as asexual but yes i am married and i have a child. But now that ive had my baby. I think its solidified that im done having sex. I feel bad as my partner keeps asking me but i just dont want to. Any advice on what i can do? Any other asexual moms out there? I guess this could be confusing but im not huge on being bound by a label. I have just always felt it represented me best since highschool.
