how can i stop feeling so sad for weaning?

Question

My baby girl is 6 months old now, and i have decided to use patch for protection and if i do, i wont be able to breastfeed my baby, it took almost forever to convince myself.. I don't know for some reason i am feeling terrible and i wanna cry so bad.. if i stop breastfeeding, will my baby suffer? Will i be a bad mother? Will my love reduce ? I just don't wanna get pregnant right now and soon or later i will have to stop breastfeeding.. i need some advice

Answer

You wNt be a bad mother but if you feel so strongly, why not use a condom or other forms? They're just as effective as the patch and then you can nurse.

Answer

There's other forms of birth control that u can take and breastfeed. But if u do wean baby doesn't make u a bad mom. Do what's best for you. 6 months is a good amount of time to breastfeed baby for.

Answer

Read the book 'taking charge of your fertility' to learn about your cycle

Answer

If it makes you so sad then your not ready to stop and baby probably isnt ready either. Im in the mini pill and i can still breastfeed look into other options

Answer

My husband doesn't really worry if i get pregnant again, its okay with himso he wont go for protection, i have to, and i dont know what kind of protection i can use. Can you guys give me some name or picture? Am actually out of states right now so it even harder to get things in here but i will try

Answer

I would never take a form of birth control that didn't allow me to nurse my baby. Like pp mentioned there are many other forms available. It's only for a few months or a year.
