My DD is 15 months old and still feeding morning and night. I’m ready to give up now, she’s bitey, wriggly, kicks me, pulls at my skin and it’s basically feeling like a form of slow torture at this point.
But she really loves it. She’s at the point of pulling at my top and won’t drink ANY milk from a cup or a bottle. No to milkshakes, custard etc. I’ve tried giving her new quick or vanilla milk and she spits it out. She also won’t eat yoghurt or cereal or porridge either.
She will eat cheese so I think that’s probably fine from a calcium perspective? But I need some help on actually giving up the feeds. She started nursery a few months ago and since then has had endless colds and bugs which are disrupting her sleep. I’ve cut down a few nights in a row and DH has put her straight to bed when I’ve been out and she’s been ok, but it’s a bit hit and miss as to how she sleeps. If there even is a link between it.
What do I do? Should I just cut down the minutes then drop it entirely? Or go cold turkey and get DH to put her to bed for a week?
Pls send help! I’m starting to be envious of everyone who stopped feeding before their child could really demand it!
