An anonymous mum needs some non-judgmental support during a difficult time: Hi, I really need some advice right now...... I wonder if my son is weaning himself off or have i caused the problem? I feel so down, and i cant stop crying. I have an 18 month old. I was hoping to breast feed till at least 2 / 2.5 years and than slowly wean together. He has been breast feeding well until now and LOVES his boobie milk even though he eats EVERYTHING! In past few days he started gagging and even throwing up at the breast. At first i thought it was because of nipple thrush i had and my nipples were very dry and rough, but that doesnt seem right as he fed fine during the peak of the problem, we are both treated and my nipples are healing well and are not as dry any more. Than i thought it might be because he has a blocked nose, and the mucus is running back down his throat. But the WORST thing is, ive started smoking again ( yes, im already judging myself enough). I dont smoke when alone but do in a company, which i have had a lot of lately. I do wash up before feeding him, but i am afraid that it has sunk into my skin and gone into milk. Tonight he couldnt feed at all. He cried for it and tried numerous times, but just ended up gagging. It took hours for him to fall asleep. He doesnt take a bottle at all so that is not an option either. I feel like such a failure!!! I feel so angry at myself! I just want to comfort my baby so he settles to sleep easier but feel so helpless! I dont know how to fix this! Please help, im going out of my mind. Thank you in advance
