Weaning From Breast To Bottle Advice for weaning from breast to bottle? My daughter is 7 1 / 2 months and until now has been fully breastfed (plus 3 solid meals a day). I'm looking to return to work and therefore need to form its withdrawal, but do not know how. I have not had a similar experience, but perhaps. My daughter is also 7 1 / 2 months (born February 13, on the anniversary of your daughter) and I think to do with the formula. As she is not drinking from the bottle or cup. At this age, there is a process called reverse nurses and some babies do it their own. As for daycare, she refuses the formula or breast milk from a bottle or cup, but has solid food and then when home with you, they will often be a nurse to fill up (so to speak) to well you are away. If it gets thirsty enough she will drink. T-juice drink it yet? If so it is a cup? You can try to mix the juice with milk - little by little he will only breast milk. (It seems crude - but remember they eat baby food) My daughter has a bottle before, but it was better if I was not there. She is six months now, and still does better with a bottle if she is a grandmother or his dad. If I'm in the room, she wants the breast. Just keep trying - you'll feel better. It may, as another kind of bottle nipple or anything. My daughter is going to use a pacifier silicone, not latex, and hates the cups in general (she prefers to drink in my cup!) My son (who is now 15 months old) was breastfed from birth to 13 months. When he was about 7 months, breast-feeding (for me) is to become a task that I (selfishly) wanted to do with. I tried what I really think EVERY BOTTLE there (even the price compared to ADIRI bottles that are shaped breasts). I tried to feed him, I tried to get others to feed him when I was not there. I tried the milk, I tried the formula. I tried waiting until he was so hungry he would eat his foot. Nothing nothing nothing worked. doctors my son kept telling me to wait it out and it will eventually take the bottle. Somehow, I feel as if it was not worth it. weaning from breast to bottle was such a difficult task and, possibly, that I was going to have to wean from bottle to cup. Imagine my pain then. So I presented the cup. Fortunately, at 7 months, I had already introduced solids and water / juice, so when I could not be everywhere he ate his food and formula Gerber and sometimes drank a cup of diluted juice Sippy free flowing. In 9 months, he was able to use the sippy cup and only one year, it uses only a straw in a cup. He could not give up a night time feeding well and I was too tired to fight him (which is my fault). At about 12 months, he began to fall feedings at night by himself and 13 months, he fell asleep on his own. Sometimes babies need to move at their own pace and no matter how we try.
