Anyone stop breastfeeding after 2 months?

Question

I have an adequate supply, my baby has a great latch, & she’s gaining weight perfectly fine. But I just want freedom. I’m so tired of being the only one who can feed my baby, even if she takes a bottle I have to pump in order to supply that bottle & pump when she eats so I don’t get engorged & my supply doesn’t drop. I’m just overwhelmed supplying my baby’s only source of nutrition. I want to stop breastfeeding but I feel like I’m being selfish & I just want encouragement to continue or someone to tell me it’s okay.

Answer

It’s normal to feel this way. It’s hard, but you’re doing great!

Answer

I did😊 I hated breastfeeding personally, but I did what I could with the supply I had just so he could get whatever he could. I gave formula on some days because of the lack of supply..

Answer

Stopped at 6 weeks. Best thing I ever did. I instantly felt better once I stopped. And my son did better too. He started to sleep better and just seemed more satisfied after eating. He’s super healthy and happy baby and never been sick. 
You arent being selfish at all! It’s really upsetting that we live in a culture that makes women feel like they are selfish if they don’t breastfeed. Or like they didn’t try hard enough. Do whars best for you and your baby. Healthy mama=healthy baby

Answer

Could you just wean down to less feeds and supplement with formula. We had to supplement due to supply issues and at first I was really upset bc I was set on EBF but now I’m grateful for the freedom it gives me. I nurse quite often but I’m not the only one who can feed her. It’s great.
