I wouldn't worry :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-weaning-from-the-bottle-mean-he-might-wean-from-the-breast#post-1520862 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 17:29:06 +0000 MamaJ 1520862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At 9 months LO stopped taking a bottle. I was working only 2x a week for about 5 hours. DH would just feed him solids and put breastmilk in a cup. He wouldn't always drink the milk. We are still nursing at 15 months </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-weaning-from-the-bottle-mean-he-might-wean-from-the-breast#post-1520860 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 17:27:50 +0000 junebugmama 1520860@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My guy refused bottles at that point too. We did sippy cups starting at 6 months and he didn't wean until 20 months. I wouldn't worry about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-weaning-from-the-bottle-mean-he-might-wean-from-the-breast#post-1520852 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 17:16:11 +0000 MoonMoon 1520852@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a font of anxiety today, bear with me!</p> <p>My LO is 9.5 months old, ebf (and solids, of course!)</p> <p>He used to drink milk from a bottle happily, but at around 7 months old, he just stopped taking bottles. DH used to give him 1-2 bottles while I was at work, but these days LO can go longer stretches, so he just eats table food until I come home and nurse him. (I work part-time)</p> <p>Recently he's also completely weaned himself off the pacifier. </p> <p>Isn't he a bit young to reject the bottle and the paci? Should we try giving him BM from a sippy? Or sneak it into other foods? He's not very reliable using the sippy, so I'm afraid of milk going to waste. Does this mean he's self-weaning? I'm so not ready for that! </p>
