My lil princess is 18 months now still breastfeed a with her three meals a day but she is not satisfied until breastfed and won't take naps or go to sleep without being breastfed. Any advice would be great. I have tried her with the formula but she cries hysterically and she wouldn't have normal milk either. Thanks in advance

Have you called one of the Bfing helplines? They might be able to help you. Have you got the numbers?

She can have normal cows milk, in a beaker now, don't bother with formula (I wouldn't drink it either- smells horrible!).
I cut mine down to morning and night only, then just night, then stopped.
Took a few weeks, but they were fine.

Neither of mine would touch cows milk until Bfing was well and truly over. How often is she Bfing in the day?

Can you express some breast milk for a while and get her used to that in a cup? Then slowly mix it with cows milk (or whatever milk substitute) until there's no bm left?

She's has it on demand really specially 3-4 times during day and once or twice at night and small feeds as well during the day
