My daughter is almost 7 months old and im over the breastfeeding! Initially she refused the bottle but as she started teething she chewed on the bottle and now happily drinks water or juice from bottle but refuses my milk or formula in a bottle. She's smart she screamed when I showed her the bottle of formula! Im at my wits end as currently im the only one who can comfort her. Her father has limited involvement and I feel her dependency on my boob is preventing him from stepping up his involvement eg. I've never left her with him for long periods of time, and my mum would love to be able to take her and get her off to sleep at night etc. I've read online babies seldom take bottle from the person with the boobs but sadly it's the 2 of us 90% of the time. My mum suggested taking her overnight so im not around and I wouldn't be concerned about my daughter doing that but my mum is older and a screaming baby all night seems a bit much. Any advice? Thanks in advance
