Hey 👋 so thinking about starting to wean baby of the breast, shes 6 and a half months, food weaning is going fab, ive tried her with a few different bottle brands but not really persevering as im not desperate to wean her off boob yet- but she won’t suck a bottle, she just chomps on the teat, same with sippy cup, looking for some advice so when the time comes it can go a bit smoother for her, thanks xx

Just to update incase anyone comes across this thread looking for help, i started giving her water in a MAM bottle couple times a day, it was slow progress but didn’t really push her to take bottle, and waited untill she worked out how to suck on the bottle rather than chomp, moved onto one formula bottle in the evening once i saw she started sucking on water bottles, started off she would only have a few sucks n give up, and kept offering one every evening after her bath before bedtime bf, she will now have 4oz from a bottle which i know isn’t much for 8 month old but its nice to know she can have a bottle if need be lol xx
