well.. Edward has officially weaned himself off breastfeeding.
i have to say im really proud of him for being able to put up with me for so long..
i more or less exclusivly breastfed him for 6-8 weeks.. then he went onto one bottle a day, then he stopped gaining at aobut 10 weeks and i was told that i had to increase his formula.. so untill 12 weeks he was on about 2 bottles a day and the rest boobs.. then he lost weight and the paeds wanted to completly formula feed him from 17 weeks, but he wanted to feed from me and i wanted to feed him.. so i uppsed his formual and carried on 1-2 bfs a day..
he managed to feed from 17 weeks untill 22 weks 1-2 times a day.. but the past 5 days he wont come to me at all.. the 1st 2 days he would suck once or twice then sit up.. and refuse boobie..and the last 3 days as soon as he sees my boob he starts to cry and try to gt away (lol)
so he has officially weaned himself! im so proud to have been able to get to 5 months/weaning especially as ive really struggled with my milk for months.. i feel proud to have done it and know wheere i went wrong, im glad i pushed through all the troubles ive had and i know when we have the next one things i need to do to get through longer.
