Trying to stop BF

Are you wanting to stop completely or do you just want some tips about the party Fatty?

I'm no expert and can only tell you what I'm doing with my ds who is 6 months. I'm going back to work so have to stop although I'm hoping to keep the morning and night time feeds if I can.

I've taken it really slowly and introduced one feed at a time so started with a bottle in the day, then once he was happily taking that (it took A couple of weeks) I then replaced another feed with a bottle etc...

I also had to try lots of different formula and bottles to see what he would take!

Good luck!

You need to wait til she's hungry but not starving then get someone else to give a bottle.
Lots and lots of distraction is key so feed quite upright in arms walking around singing or watching tv.
Don't try and put the test straight in, place it next to baby's mouth and wait for her to turn her head and keep walking and singing while she drinks.

Did you have any luck?

How long did he try for? I'd give it up to an hour

I'm also trying to stop feeding an 8mo boob monster who won't countenance milk from any source but me. Lapin are you saying DH should be persevering with the bottle for up to an hour at a time? What about if/when baby gets upset? Am desperate and very much open to suggestion!

If the baby gets upset just distract distract distract. Like I said lots of singing and walking around. You absolutely need to be out of the house.
V important that you do it when the baby is a bit hungry but not at all starving.

Also at 8 months you could try just going to a sippy cup.

Thanks - will try that then. Yes, sippy cup also rejected.

And remember don't go straight in with the teat. Put it next to the mouth and wait for them to turn their head then slip it in and keep walking around

Thank you!
