Hi there...
Hope things have improved for you both. I have spent the past few days tossing and turning with my breastfeeding decision and have finally come to the conclusion (after lots of over thinking!) to stop
Our time has come to an end and I think for us I need to encourage less feeding at night and I can't say that I trust my supply at the moment. I think being tired and having a toddler to look after have also contributed to a dwindling milk supply and my son is a big hungry boy and I really don't feel that in the past few weeks that I have been able to meet his feeding needs. So - decision is made!
Now I can concentrate more on getting our routine back in tact. He has been giving me 2 good naps on most days and I think if I get the feeding back on track then hopefully we will have only one feed at night (I really need to drop one of them as he was only doing one feed at 8 weeks so we have gone backwards this past month). I think if I give him the right amount of milk and solids and naps and we still have night wakings then I 'm sure you will see me on the Night Waking board and will do no doubt have to do some serious sleep training - which I'm hoping it won't come to that. He has always been a pretty good sleeper so I am crossing my fingers that over the course of a week we will get there again. It's been great chatting with you both and will no doubt have more conversations through BW again...
Take care and hope you are both getting nice naps and decent nights
