My daughter is six months old and I really want to stop breastfeeding. However, she is exclusively breastfed and won't take a bottle.
Breastfeeding hasn't been easy for me and I'm so proud of myself for forgetting to 6 months exclusively however it's still painful, I keep getting mastitis, i'm going back to work soon. I want to have stopped before then and she feeds so regularly because my supply doesn't seem to catch up which is exhausting me, especially with a toddler in tow as well. I feel like with solids on the way this is the time to stop.
But what can I do to get her on a bottle? She just downright refuses it at the moment so should I just cut her off cold turkey from the boob till she realises she has to have a bottle? That feels a little cruel.
