Any tips please trying to cut out a few feeds b/f baby.

[all4girlz]

hi there everyone,

my dd4 is 18 months old and I am still feeding her alot.
She will drink water and cows milk but only little bits at a time out of a cup (she has never taken a bottle or a dummy).

I want to cut the b/f down during the day but am worried about her getting dehydrated has anyone got any good advice, tips, help all appreciated thanks jx

Have had 2 bf babies (also didn't have dummy or bottle) and in the end I just cut out a feed a week until after a month they were drinking out of a cup at every meal/feed and bedtime. I swear they soon get the hang of it really. Don't forget they also get milk in cereals, yoghurts, cheese sauce etc. I worried about it before I did it but it was perfectly fine and they both love water. Go for it.

hi I did not have a problem with my other 2 as they both had bottles this one though.
I even bought the Adiri breast bottle to no avail I am just a little anxious I guess.

It's horrible being anxious but I've come to the conclusion that it's never as bad as you think it's going to be. Good luck.

thanks yorkshire pud will give it a go

Hi. I have a 7 month old daughter and need to get her off the breast. She is not interested in a bottle (she doesn't have a dummy), but is not too interested in a cup either. My main concern are her night feeds as she still wakes at least twice for a feed and I'm not sure she'll go to sleep with out the breast!Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

Oh my god - I'm so worried. Mine is 4.5 months old and refuses the bottle. Have been trying since he was 2 weeks old (although he wa taking it until then).. I'm really worried about weaning him off. Didn't really want to b/f past 7/8 months. Have started solids as he's feeding more and more and am hoping he will take to bottle or beaker.. Need help!
