My LO is 7 months old, I went back to work when he was 4 months and he still struggles with the bottle. He refused all of them up until the day before I went back. The Lanishoh mOmma bottle was the only one he drank from (thanks to the reco's from HB!) but still to this day I pick him up at daycare and he refuses some bottles or will only drink and ounce or two. We have been working the liquid into his oatmeal but it's been tough. He just wants to nurse! He's never going to let me wean, haha.</p> <p>We just got some new sippy/straw cups to try so maybe that will work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weaning-when-lo-refuses-a-bottle#post-2537565 Sat, 30 Apr 2016 04:50:37 +0000 FaithFertility 2537565@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DD stopped taking a bottle at 3 months so when I went back to work at 7 months I just kept offering milk in a sippy cup we ended up with a straw cup that she took to, on the weekeends I just tried to continue the week schedule and only BF morning and night, it went pretty well<br /> I know not taking a bottle stinks but.....in the long run no bottle weaning :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weaning-when-lo-refuses-a-bottle#post-2537480 Fri, 29 Apr 2016 21:10:23 +0000 schubr03 2537480@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just realized I posted about this before! Sorry! I guess anymore tips are helpful! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weaning-when-lo-refuses-a-bottle#post-2537479 Fri, 29 Apr 2016 21:08:00 +0000 schubr03 2537479@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am a SAHM so it has been most convenient to exclusively breast feed for the last 10 months. I am looking to start the process of weaning off of the breast and move towards a bottle/sippy cup. We have a huge stockpile of expressed milk and plan to use that to continue feeding DD breast milk and I may continue to pump. This is the hard part though, DD refuses to drink milk out of a bottle or sippy cup. I have tried at all different times of the day. I have tried having my hubby give it to her. It seems like we have tried it all. Looking for some help from you lovely bees! Has anyone else been in this situation? Should I just stop nursing cold turkey during the day? Ahhh! Please help! </p>
