EBF MOMMAS
Hey mamas! I need help. i have been 90/10 ebf throughout babies first year and only used formula when we went out and she drank from a bottle (didn’t have good pump supply, she would hybrid drink) but towards the end of her first year i messed up and just stopped giving her the bottle as much and now she’s super attached to bf and i want to stop. We have tried giving whole milk but she does not like it one bit. I have been blessed with going the full year but i have been stressed over how much it takes of me and i have another 2 yr old as well, so it’d be nice to just give bottles for naps/bedtime and not have to be the sole parent to put her to sleep because she wants to breastfeed. Please help 😭

Try hand expression and manual pumps it takes time but I usually get the most that way. My baby takes a sippy cup so I starting putting milk there and recently when empty giving water as I was ebf at night it took about a week but my 1yr is off at night only working on getting fully off but one step at a time
Straw cup with water? You can always just let daddy do bedtime one day a week and let him figure out his own way.
she does take sippy cups but when it’s time to sleep nap or bed she throws a scream match and throws everything we give to her 😭

Just give it a try. My son prefers to bf to sleep, but his dad has the magic touch. Even without milk, his strong chest, and what I assume are some very boring stories, knock our boy out in 15 minutes or less. It saves me 2 hours of nonsense per night. If it doesn't work now, try again once every month or so. It's worth it!
