Weaning ?

I have decided, after visiting my local breastfeeding clinic, that I'm done with pumping and I'm just going to continue to formula feed.  I had planned to EBF but after so many set backs, and not having the time to pump frequently enough for DS, my supply has dropped... the clinic suggested domperidone, but honestly, I can't get a good latch either and I'm not really willing to go through the pain and frustrations I had at the beginning all over again.  Pumping is a PITA IMHO... so my problem is, I expected to let DS naturally wean after EBFing for at least a year, and I haven't looked into how to do it comfortably...

Opinions?  I don't really want to go cold turkey, as I"m sure it'll hurt like crazy!!

Re: Weaning ?

  • I'd check kellymom.com.  I bet it has good suggestions on how to wean.

  • Thanks!  I did look there, I was just looking for more personal, pain relief options I guess - I've read about wrapping your breasts, tight sports bras, cabbage leaves etc.. but I don't know if any of that really works - so I was hoping I'd get some feedback from people on how they weaned and how well it worked for them...  I'll just muddle through it probably and hopefully I'm not in too much pain!!
