Im really not sure what to do next i have really mixed feelings about bf i do love it but im finding it really hard. Im lucky if dd goes 3 hours between feeds. Shes been really demanding and im sure my breasts are struggling to keep up with her constant demand for food she is putting on weight but not huge amounts which is upsetting she almost lives on my boobs. Shes has 1 bottle a day of 7oz which she drains and is hungry again 2-3 hours later She is also now waking 2-3 times in the night again. I had put it down to teething and 4 month growth spurt but its been going on for ages now.
A while ago the hv said that rather than give her another bottle i should think about weaning her. How do i know if shes ready for weaning? Im really looking forward to weaning but i dont want to rush her into it.
Its been one thing after another with breast feeding with me and its only been sheer stubborness, determination and you lot (so thank you all) thats got me this far im not sure if i can do it much longer.
