I have a 8 month old that I have been breastfeeding exclusively since she was born, I have her a bottle with breastmilk in it a couple times when she was first born, but she hasn't had a bottle since she was 2 months old.
I am trying to start weaning her, at least from breastfeeding during the day. But she will have nothing to do with bottles, she laughs at me when I give one to her. She will drink out of a sippy cup, but only if there is water in it. I even tried giving her water with alittle juice in it, and she wouldn't drink it.
I would like my freedom back!!!!!
Do you have any advice for me???
Please only answer if you HAVE been through the weaning process..... I am not done with breastfeeding, I still love it, I just want her to have alittle indepenence!!!!!!
Specially on long trips or when my husbands friends are over.
My husband has never fed her, well solid food yes.. but from a bottle no. And he is feeling really rejected lately that he cannot help me as much as he wants too!
