DD2 is 7.5 months old and until now has been completley BF but for a number of reasons i need her to start taking milk from a cup (so please don't shoot me for wanting/ needing to stop).
OH and I agreed that completely stopping was probably the only way to do this and we knew it would be hard. So Monday night was the last time i fed her before she went to bed.
She finally started to willingly drink some milk from a beaker late yesterday afternoon (she had solids and water which she would drink from a beaker in the meantime so I wasn't starving her). She isn't taking a huge quantity at all but is gradually taking some. She is still eating well and ate breakfast for the first time today. When she woke in the night OH offered her the beaker and she took it and had some.
Will she gradually start to take more, am worrying about her milk and fluid intake, she had a wet nappy this morning but not that wet at all and normally hers are very very heavy first thing. Bizarrely we are having most success with room temperature or even cold formula from a hard spouted beaker as opposed to warm EBM.
Am finding this very hard and feeling like a dreadful mother. Any advice similar experience appreciated.
