My baby is ten and a half months old and is on day two of a nursing strike, which I think is teething related. She last fed yesterday morning at 6am. She took a bottle of cows milk last night and this morning as I do not have formula in the house; she took it happily and enjoyed it. I don't know how long the nursing strike will last for but I am wondering whether to take it as an opportunity to wean her off the breast as I am back to work when she is 1. I know you are not supposed to give cows milk as a main drink until 1 but considering that is 6 weeks away would it be so bad if she is drinking it happily?
Also, I am in considerable pain after not feeding for so long. I have tried but I cannot get much milk out. Any easy expressing tips much appreciated!
