DD is almost 13m and bf, never took a bottle, keep offering cows milk in MAM beaker - dh does before a sleep plus first thing in am. she has a little taste only. been offering it 2m now. I need to night wean her soon. She still feeds frequently and since she has learnt to sign for milk she cries wolf all the time. I do often ignore her now and say no milk. Anyway once I have night weaned I will reduce day feeds but how? I want to ttc again by end of the year.

Do you have any reason to think ttc will be a problem? DS was feeding loads until about 2yo - I conceived DD when he was about 18mo.
Have you tried different cups? DD will use a tommee tippee one quite well, never tried her on any others apart from a doidy cup which she seems to like too

DD didn't liked cows milk at all, but did like water. So, I started by watering the milk right down, say 10 -90% and gradually increased the percentage of milk until it was all milk.

It worked a treat. Good luck with ttc

Yes DS2 is 13 months and been using a straw for a couple of weeks now.
