A little support needed - want to hear from thoses who have bf after 6 months

[CandyPop]

I have always been very keen to bf my LO and after a painful 8 weeks at the beginning I'd finally got the hang of it.

Now 6 months down the line I do feel ready to stop. Please don't judge, but I wanted to reclaim that part of myself again and wanted to wear normal bras and clothes!!

However, that's irrelevant now! LO decided a month ago (from having no issues on taking random bottles of breast milk) that she didnt like the bottle anymore :( I have literally tried all tricks in the book but nothing is working.

I have now come to terms that this just won't happen so will carry on bf as have no choice.

Just want to hear some experiences and encouragement from those who wanted to stop but couldn't and so had to carry on.

Am in same position...on my second bottle refuser! And, like you, have tried everything. Have now given up. She's 19 weeks and we've started introducing a sippy cup. I weaned my first onto cup so that I only fed her morning & night (quite nice & cuddly!) and then she took cup in day. I seem to remember it being quite easy?! But baby brain may be playing tricks on me!

She doesn't know what to do with a sippy cup , have been using the doidy cup. She's started drinking from that!! Not a lot mind you, but it's a start
