How and When to Wean?
I know this is a little early since Maya isn't even 8 mos yet, but its hurting like hell to breastfeed her lately. My poor nipples just burn after she's done, but shes not biting or pinching because the shape is perfect. In fact, her latch is better now than its ever been and she seems so satisfied after feeding. I am torn. I enjoy breastfeeding so much and its so rewarding, but I don't know how long I can do it with the pain. Any suggestions? When have some of you BTDT moms started cow's milk?
Also, DH just bought some yobaby yogurt, does anyone think I can start Maya on that now? See how she does?
Why do I always feel so spastic when I want to try something new? Like I just brought her home. I have to ask you ladies before I try anything anymore.
I'm also really concerned that I am going to run out of EBM since I now only pump 3 ounces the entire time I am at work. It sucks big time. I just recently started feeding Maya from both sides to see if that will help production some since both breasts will be stimulated every 3-4 hours...am I right about that? DH thinks the pregnancy is affecting my supply since it started around a month ago.
TIA for input.
