How to stop breastfeeding 7mo

3 replies

Nix99 · 03/01/2022 21:50

Dd is ebf and we've had a pretty good breastfeeding journey so far but for several different reasons I really want to stop soon. Problem is I cant get her to take milk any way apart from from my boobs. She adamantly refuses a bottle so we've been going down the cup route but to not much luck either. She will have a bit from the cup whether it is expressed milk or formula but then will spit it out or just turn her head and clamp her mouth shut and refuse any more. I know trying to get someone else to do it is supposed to help but my partner isnt having much luck either. We have tried a few different cups but get the same result each time. She is being weaned and is on 3 meals atm. Any advice greatly received. Thank you

How much will she have from the cup @Nix99?

@BunnyRuddington 1 oz if we're lucky usually less and I'm not sure how much of that she actually drinks as there is usually some spillage and/or spitting out

I'd try and keep going with it. Can your DP get her up in the morning and give her breakfast with a cup of milk whilst you make yourself busy by sleeping having a shower or going out for a run?
