My daughter (9 months) is exclusively breastfed and has never taken a bottle (we tried EVERY bottle/approach). We have also tried every straw/spouted cup going - she understands them and will have a few sips (and I mean tiny sips) but will never drink any kind of volume from them. She eats a lot of solids.
I’m going back to work in a month and still breastfeeding first thing, after lunch nap and before bed. I’ve resigned myself to the fact I will have to keep breastfeeding longer than I’d like but am not sure how she’ll do without milk all day. At the afternoon feed she stays on the breast for ages because I think it’s the only hydration she’s getting between morning and evening feeds (we offer water with meals but again she only takes the odd micro sip).
Anyone had a similar situation? Basically…was it ok when you had to go cold turkey during the day and was there anything you did to make it easier? I’m really getting stressed about it!
