Hello! My boy is 2 in a couple of months and still breastfed at night, once overnight (or twice depending) and occasionally before naps when I am not working. I found breastfeeding incredibly hard to establish and we both worked so hard at it and I’m proud of our journey! But my partner and I would like to try for another baby and need to do ivf. My periods are regular so that’s not an issue with the bf. But doctor has “advised” I stop breastfeeding as progesterone can get into the milk supply. There’s no data to show it can cause harm and no data to show it doesn’t - it’s not something they really test. But probably best to stop just in case. I think my boy will be very unhappy about this and it’s a bit sad for me too but I don’t want to wait much longer than him turning two.
Any weaning tips?

Swap nights out with dad. We weaned my boobie monster in one night with very very little resistance at a similar age with this method. He then day weaned himself over the next few weeks x

I just stopped offering, but always let her feed if she asked, and after about 6 months, one day she never asked again 🙁
Thank you. I’ll try with partner - that’s not always a successful approach alas, lots of protesting when it’s not me and partner very “tired”!🙄🤣
