This little guy is a mommy milk lover. Sure Roman liked milk. But he would breastfeed or take milk or formula in a bottle. Not picky at all.
Finn will not drink from a bottle. He won't drink milk from a sippie cup either. He will only breastfeed. And he wants to feed every three or four hours even though he is fully eating solids too. And he still gets one or two feedings at night. I never really noticed I was still feeding him that much. He's quick and it makes him so content and happy. But I realized the other day he is 10 months old, and that might be a bit too many feeds for a 10 month old! Especially because I need to think about weaning him so I can go back to work a bit in September. And because these little chompers don't feel so hot as he scarfs down his milk!
Roman weaned himself and was done breastfeeding by 10 months. So I have no idea what I am doing. The last week I cut down from 5 to 4 feeds. That went okay. The last two days I tried to go to 3. Poor Finn is so sad and grumpy. It has completely changed his personality. And when he does get breast milk he is high as a kite. Smiles and giggles and has a dreamy look in his eyes. It really is like a drug for him!Any tips? Cutting back and cutting out night feeds? Getting him to take milk from a bottle? I am going to have Brad try to feed him from a bottle and see if it helps that it is not me feeding him. Other than that I am stumped.

This sounds so familiar - Brody and Summer were the exact same way! At 12 months I did what you're doing and just started losing a feeding a day, maybe it was even 14 months for Summer...so just keep trying it - he'll catch on. She learned to love the sippy cup - but only a certain one. Try using the same kind of sippy cup every time and he might start to recognize it as a good thing...I dunno. Every kid's way different so good luck with it!!
skip everything and go straight to burgers. he'll love it. i promise!
no tips obviously beside just start with the bottle j/k... finn looks so cute though!! He's growing up way to fast!! Thanks for all your coments you are the best!! ttys
was it our conversation the other day that triggered your realization of the mr milk? gotta love what it's doing for that waistline though right?! see you tomorrow
I'm no help at all, I'm still nursing away, I use to love nursing but I'm thinking I"m over it about now too. She'll be 2 in Dec. and then I'm really done! That's the cut off. I'd do it sooner but I'm just too lazy, I just try to distract with juice when I don't want to .
Okay, can I do a cuter header for you? I'm going to start working on one, who did that one anyhow?
It sounds just like Riley! AUGH! It is so frustrating. At this age they don't need to nurse this much. so we just picked a long weekend and mike got up with him at night and gave me just water or juice in a sippy during the day. I wouldn't suggest cold Turkey just yet but you could try one or the other. But you've got to love what nursing can do to you figure. haha Good luck Buddy!
I wish I had some bright idea for you but Bailee quit after two months!!! I really do wish you good luck though.
