Advice on cutting down bf-ing please...

[ceebee]

Hi

My LO is 12 weeks old and I need to cut down on BF-ing. I've had issues doing this before but this is the 4th day I've cut out a feed and so far so good, touch wood. I now need some advice on which feeds to cut out next...

By the way, my left boob produces a lot more milk than my right, so I feed from this more often and need to be careful when cutting out feeds not to neglect it too much!

Here's my BF-ing schedule (approximately!)

7-8am BF (right boob to start)

10am BF (left boob to start)

12pm BF (right boob to start)

2pm BF (left boob to start)

4pm FF

6/6.30pm BF (right boob to start)

9pm BF (left boob to start)

11.30pm FF (we always did this ff from birth)

3 - 5am BF (left boob)

I hope this makes sense and would really appreciate advice on which feed(s) to cut out next...

Thanks xxxxx

I would say cut out the 12 one next, I tried to cut out alternate feeds, then just adjust which breast you use first, most people leave the first morning feed till last as that is when your breasts are fullest!
