Stopping breastfeeding, shall I feed from cup or bottle ?

[2015mom]

Hi my LO is going to be 1 on Wednesday and I am going to wean him off breastmilk. I am still in a dilemma as to whether to feed him from a cup or bottle at night and in the morning.

In the afternoon I will feed him from a cup.

But I am unsure about bottles for the morning and night purely because he will not be getting comfort from sucking from the breast so I thought at least he can suck from a bottle for comfort.

But then on the other hand he has not been used to a bottle since he was about 6 months when I stopped expressing milk..... So he will not know any different if I don't give him the bottle.

What did you guys do?

Mine went straight to cup. My daughter didn't drink any cows milk at all besides in her porridge for about 5 months but ate plenty of yogurt and cheese

Straight to sippy cup. Volume went down a lot for 2 months or so but appetite was generally really good so I wasn't too worried.

Thanks for help

He has been having cows milk in cereal so hopefully he will take to it

Advice is to stop using a bottle at 1 so I would just go straight to a cup.

Yeah they do say stop feeding from a bottle at 1 for various reasons... Hopefully the LO drinks loads from the cup lol

One way or the other have to wean him off breastmilk because I am pregnant

I introduced a straw cup (with lid and handles) when my ds was 1. He soon chose this over boob for bedtime feed (last remaining breastfeed). Good luck

Absolutely agree that a cup is best, no need for bottles at all.

I have brought the Tommee tippee sippee beaker and the Tommee tippee trainer cup which is what I will use as well as the doidy cip

I've been using the nuby grip and sip. It has handles, and a soft 'teat' and doesn't leak as much as the tommee tippy sippy. Also pregnant, he went to bed tonight without asking for bf!! 13 months. It only took a few nights before he was getting very excited about his cup of milk and cutting down time bf.
