Aargh, my 18 month old is driving me crazy at the moment and would appreciate any advice. She has a bottle sometimes for quite a while as other people take care of her etc, we always do one as part of the bedtime routine.
She still breastfeeds frequently but gets so cross at the breast. She drains it in 2 minutes flat, says ‘all gone,’ then hits my boob and gets pretty frustrated. Sometimes she’ll take a bottle at this point, sometimes not, it’s not that she’s hungry just that apparently my boobs are not doing what she wants!
I don’t mind switching to the bottle completely but she still nags for a breastfeed all the time. Should I cut her off? Is this all part of self weaning? My older daughter got cut off cold turkey after 2 years as she would never take a bottle and showed no signs of stopping, this is new territory for me!
