Re: Breastfeeding Mom
Your beautiful baby has already had a bottle and you are so close to the 6th month. It shouldnt be too hard to wean back to it. Just end breastfeeding and go all bottle. Pump for a while to keep up the flavor of it. And yes it is best to go a minimum of 6 months of breast feeding, but if you can do it by pumping and bottle feeding the breast milk till you hit whatever time you choose, your almost there. There are alot of people who say breast feed as long as you can or its bad... But You have done really good! Dont be afraid to stop. But for your health (besides your baby's) you may want to go slow and keep pumping, but cut down slowly. Otherwise you could end up over full and in pain. Really if you are ok with pumping when you want and bottle feeding the breast milk that would be great you can supplement with formula and by pumping you know exactly how much baby takes. I wish I was able to do that (bf past 6 months, but due to my own health issues I wasnt able to). But either way you should talk to your doctor and your Pediatrician about the best way to wean off... for both of you...
