6 month no longer breastfeeding šŸ˜”šŸ˜”

My boy is 6.5 months and has slowly started to lose interest in breastfeeding…which is WAY earlier than I’d planned 🄺

We’ve combi fed pretty much from the beginning and with him becoming hungrier we introduced more formula bottles during the day. He always breastfed at night but in the past couple of weeks wasn’t as interested and the past two nights hasn’t breastfed at all…I’m gutted.

I’m pumping in the day when I can and normally able to get 100/150ml which I give him the next day. I haven’t pumped at night as I was holding out for him to breastfeed.

Question is is this the beginning of the end?

Anyone have success stories of baby relatching after 6 months?

Any advice welcome 🩵

my advice just don’t give up, the more you encourage him or her, they will eventually start to latch again. I breastfed until my baby is 13 months she started to weaned herself off the bottle i wasn’t ready but i had to tell myself to let her do her thing. but i think just keep trying to offer him or her your breast. ā¤ļø

Why my baby can’t chill šŸ˜‚

My baby started to crawl and now I can’t leave her unsupervised for not even 10 seconds is exhausting. How did you cope with it? I’m dreading to think how she is gonna be when she starts walking lol

Why wont my son sleep? 😭

So first time mom, dont know if this is a boy thing or a every baby thing, but for the last month my son has been EXTREMELY difficult about nap and bed time. Hes almost 2. His day consists of tons of active play indoors and outdoors so i know hes tuckered out, big meals so hes full, no gas, not thirsty, i feel like ive tried everything but for some reason he just will NOT go to sleep, im typing this as im rocking him ive been rocking him for the last 2 hours for bed and he is still forcing his body rigid to get out of my arms, trying to sit up, hitting and crying. He takes a bottle before nap and bed, diaper is changed, i swear im going crazy. I dont know what to do at this point, any advice is appreciated.

Baby carrier

Recommendations for a baby carrier? I’ve tried a fair few with my previous babies but never really found them comfortable! I’m due in 6 weeks time, looking for something to make school runs with 4 little ones a little easier 🫣🤣
