For the moms that have stopped BFing, how did you know it was time? I never make a bottle so I don't know how much she is getting each time. I do pump in the morning to make with her cereal. When I pump I can barely make 2 Oz. I can't tell if it is because I'm dehydrated from not drinking throughout the night or if my boobs are just not producing enough. My LO never asks for more milk throughout the day. Any advice?
Re: Stop breastfeeding
I'm kind of shocked by how big my baby is already. She has six teeth!! Maybe I'm mourning the end of our nursing relationship a little.
I say go with your gut and do whatever is comfortable for you and baby!
I think I'll keep going with BFing. She hasn't actually shown me any signs of hunger. Do you other mama's drink at night still? I hate it because I already pee at least twice a night, and that is without drinking much water.
We are thinking of stopping soon due to teeth. My son has a habit of biting down and pulling hard when angry or playing and does that when teething too *which is right now again lol* so for me it's more about how much more I can handle with his biting down. He doesn't always do it but when he does holy ouchies! I love our breastfeeding time though so we're thinking it depends how it all goes but prob stop at a year old. He's currently just over 8 months.
