This past week I took the decision to stop breastfeeding Alfie.

The time just felt right for both of us, not only as I go back to work in two weeks but Alfie went to bed for two consecutive nights without being fed by me. I guess we both realised that there was no real benefit anymore.

Must say it seems really strange that after nine and a half months I wont be solely responsible for the bedtime feed but it does give us more flexibility in Alfie’s bedtime routine.

Also it now feels as if Alfie is all the family’s baby instead of just mine, more so for Daddy as it was really easy for him to feel a little left out at times.
