After a v.difficult start have managed to exclusively bf for nearly 6 months but now with weaning approaching am wondering if it is still as important to continue? My hv said that each day after 6 months bf becomes less effective as immunity building etc She suggesting that weaning onto food was a good time to wean onto formula. The 2 could go hand in hand. Not sure what to do? Is it worth continuing?
