While 60% of mothers breastfeed their baby at birth, only 20% continue after two months, while the World Health Organization recommends six months. So, when to stop breastfeeding?
Mommas, I need help with this topic. I am considering stopping breastfeeding, sometimes it’s just so much, the baby crying so much me being alone with him from 4 am till my husband gets home in the evening. And sometimes I don’t even have time to pump and then my supply lows down but I feel so guilty if I stop breastfeeding I don’t know what to do, baby boy is 5 months this Friday and I try to tell myself that 5 months breastfeeding is still a huge accomplishment ☹️
My handsome little king will be stopping the feeding tube tonight. I'm so so so happy he is moving along just fine ☺️☺️☺️

Anyone have any experience with this: I Gave up on nursing and pumping about 2 or 3 weeks ago bc nursing felt impossible without a shield and my baby was getting stressed trying, as was i. I started to feel the baby blues, big time after stopping. So randomly today i put him on my boob, without a shield, and he latched. He nursed for awhile and now I want to get my supply up again. I feel so happy and grateful we had a successful session without a shield. Anyone have experience with stopping and restarting and if so, do you have any tips? Tia. #breastfeeding #startingover #nursing

I’m breastfeeding my twins, I’m kinda an over producer. I want to stop breastfeeding but nobody tell you how to stop or how to stop producing milk. I’m stopping for my mental health & more time with my twins. I also believe one of my twins are lactose intolerant. Any advice?!

One thing I didn't do during my first pregnancy that I MADE SURE I did during this pregnancy is FULLY educate myself on breastfeeding. It was overwhelming after I delivered my first son to have 10 different nurses walking in and out telling me 10 different do's and don'ts while I was trying to breastfeed AND even stopping me in the middle of breastfeeding just to tell me something else 🙄 I COMPLETELY gave up breastfeeding before I even left the hospital and I blame myself for not having the least bit of education on how to breastfeed my child. I'M READY THIS TIME AND I'M TELLING THOSE NURSES TO BACK THE HELL UP 👊👏 # Educate&AdvocateForYourself

Question for breastfeeding mamas: did you have depression when stopping breastfeeding? Lately my anxiety has been out of control which makes my depression spiral as well to the point I’ve been taken out of work. My doc wanted me to stop breastfeeding but I don’t know if mentally I can handle that right now. It’s me and my daughters biggest bonding thing and I don’t know if I’m ready to let that go yet. She’s 5 months.
