Breastfeeding mommas, how long did you breastfeed for? How did you/do you plan to do the whole transition from boob to…

My daughter bites but I let her know not to, it hurts then she goes back to sucking if she doesn't I take her off for awhile. She doesn't like that but ouch!it hurts lol

I definitely dont want to be breastfeeding when my babes got teeth lol i was going to try the cereal stuff. Idk i just know its going to be hard

@pnutbutta Claudia did the same at that age! Then around 1yr, she opened up more. She still is wary around new people .. but there's no crying.

I am a strong believer in how wire my lil one's brain ... and how to deal with her emotions and stress. Her NEEDS do not warrant stress or emotions when possible.

I agree @tlistboom my daughter isn't very sociable right now and my friend says I have to force her but like u said why should I. When she's comfortable she will come around. She just wants her mommy and daddy right now. I can't bare to hear her cry when people take her.

@pnutbutta I am taking the super slow approach! Lol. Why stress them out or yourself is my theory.. especially if you have time and patience for it.

Ok. I am still breastfeeding her until she falls asleep so it's good to know that I am not alone. @tlistboom

I’ve also started transitioning my son off the breast ., he still likes the breast to fall asleep but during the night when he wakes for it I give him a bottle of water and cuddle him back to sleep, it’s been working but it’s hard cuz he still cries for the boob . @charliesmommy17,

@pnutbutta she falls and pulls off .. some naps I just lay with her or transition her off.

She still wakes once for comfort .. but her teeth (molars) have been hellish so everything we have been doing as been turned upside down for now 😒

How is she when you don't let her fall asleep on it? @tlistboom

I still breastfeed to fall asleep .. slowly cutting it out. It is only for the few minutes before sleep ... twice a day .. sometimes once.

Yeah the teeth are no fun while breastfeeding@delamorena2121

Just be warned it can be pretty emotional. I was struggling with this a lot. I start work at 4:30 am and breastfeeding was pretty difficult. I started to give him breast milk and water in his bottle just to get him used to it and also at about 4 1/2 mons started letting him try some solids. But you need a pretty good schedule.. if you want to DM me I can let you know how I switched. He’s finally on formula now.. but I don’t think my breast milk was enough for him. So now I feel pretty emotional. He had his first sleep over and also 24 hours with no boob at all, not even for comfort and when he came back home I felt detached. I’m still sorting through it but I can let you know what I did if you still want some help.. only good thing is I can finally get some sleep. And now I just breastfeed him like once a day just for bonding/comfort for him. Although it hurts me cause he has teeth now. 😩

I am still breastfeeding and incorporating solids together at the same time. I have been doing this since she turned 6 months,with breast milk still being her primary meal.
