We're beginning the process of weaning DS 11.5 months off breastmilk; he's still on about 6 feeds a day, and as phase 1 we're trying to cut out all feeds during working hours.
He will take breastmilk or formula from a bottle happily, but he WILL NOT drink water or any other liquid, either from a bottle, a sippy cup (Vital Baby) or a normal cup. He spits it out all down his front when we try.
Please help - how can we get him to drink water etc? I don't want him to get dehydrated, but I'm also working FT and sick to death of the rigmarole of expressing/feeding during the day. I want to cut back to morning and night only for milk feeds.
