When to stop breastfeeding?

BB IS 8 months old, breast fed with formula supplementation. Honestly breast feeding felt like a chore to me so I'm surprised I made it this far. I feel like I want to stop breastfeeding but I help but feel like I'm abandoning BB. I just wanna know how much solids I should feed him? And formula. I give him solids about 3 times a day 4 oz portions and usually BF him after. And I give him formula bottles sparingly if he doesn't seem to get full of the boob. Should I feed him more?

    I would consult a pediatrician on what exactly to do for your child, but if you no longer want to breastfeed, feel free to wean if it'll make you happier.

    And just as a note, most pedis I've heard suggest milk/formula before solids as that's their main source of nutrition the first year.

    I stopped brestfeeding (slowly) a couple months ago but I pumped and froze a bunch in case he gets sick. When he gets s cold I even sometimes squirt some breast milk in his nose and make sure to give him one breast milk bottle a day while he's sick. You made it very far you should be proud!!
