Hi!
My DS is 7mo, and I ebf. We've been weaning on food since he was 6mo. I go back to work in July, working shift work, 12hr days and nights, so my DP and I decided we should put him on formula as it would be confusing for DS to sometimes b BF and not others.
The HV said because of his age, not to worry about trying to get him onto a bottle, but to give him the formula in a sippy cup, which we have been doing. However he only takes sips from it, and won't drink like he does when feeding. The formula tub says he should have around 600ml a day. At the moment he has about 60ml, along with BF. How can I get him to drink more from the cup, and less from me? He still feeds in the night too.
