How to wean baby off the breast

How can I get my DS off the breast? I have tried everything, all the different bottles all the different milks. I express daily and try him with that he just won't take it. He has started biting me (two teeth) and I feel I'm neglecting my first born. Please help!

How old is he? The best way to wean off breast really depends on age.

You're not neglecting him! You're doing everything you can think of to make sure he is still fed and happy!
My LO appears to be weaning herself off. , down to just 2 feeds a day. Not helpful to you I know but she has 2 teeth too and she learned not to bite after about 6 weeks. I still get a nip occasionally though!

What age is your wee one? Weaning yet?

It really depends on the age of the baby. Sippy cup of formula might be an option if he's able/old enough. Also, there are ways to help with biting if you want to continue to bf.

Get babys dad/your partner to do the feeds from a bottle. Once baby figures out how to do it you should be able to do it as well.
