Breastfeeding Questions - Stopping Breastfeeding - Tips
My baby is 19 months old and he still requires a breastfeed at sleeping times, which is usually once in the afternoon and at night, and sometimes even in the early mornings.
I need to know is it the right time to stop breastfeeding and if so, please suggest some tips .
Also, please suggest some excercises for my breasts which have sagged due to breastfeeding.
Congratulations on breastfeeding for so long.
The World Health Organisation recommends breastfeeding for at least two years so, if possible, keep going!
However, if you are both ready to stop breastfeeding, then have a look at the following link on my website for some tips:
As for exercises to lift your breasts, I'm afraid I can't help. Perhaps an exercise trainer in your local gym could suggest something.
Breasts tend to sag after pregnancy - whether or not you breastfeed. Try getting a well-fitted bra to disguise the sagging a little.
Speak to your doctor if you are really worried about it as s/he may be able to advise you about other possibilities.
Best Wishes,
Sinead
