BREASTFEEDING

Question

Hello mga mommies, badly need advice to what should I do. I am breasfeeding mom since day1 and my baby is going 3 next month. And next week mag start na mag school (Kinder). Here is my problem. I am torn between forcing her na stop na mag breastfeed saakin since nag bobottle feed siya at malakas naman kumain. Or wait until shes ready to wean voluntarily? By the way may gatas padin po kasi siyang nakukuha from breastfeeding.Other says stop na kasi malaki na.What best to do po? Thank you in advance mga mommies.#breastfeedingmommy #breastfeed #weaning

Aww, what a milestone moment for you both, mama! Honestly, I'd say there's no rush to stop if she's still getting comfort and nutrition from it, a few of us tried the gentle weaning route and our kids actually adjusted better to school when they still had that connection to us, kaya kung may gatas pa siya, that's still good for her immune system lalo na ngayon papasok na siya sa maraming kids. The "malaki na" comment is sweet but it's really between you and your baby lang, some of my mum friends nursed until 3+ and their kids turned out perfectly fine; what matters is na ready na siya emotionally para sa school at na-prepared kayo both. You could try reducing gradually, maybe drop the bedtime feed first, or let her choose when she wants to nurse, so the transition to school isn't too overwhelming para sa kanya at sa inyo. Trust your gut, mama, kaya mo yan!
