Thanks guys for the advise. I have been trying to get a supply increase etc, but now he has starting to bite on my nipples a bit. Just gently (ish), and not sucking. He looks me directly in the eye and cries after he does it (sort of fakey). We have begun giving him cows milk or formula in a bottle when he does this and he seems much happier with that option and drinks away without any more fussing. DH thinks DS must be keen to have the bottle because its quicker (DS feeds before sleeps, not after) , so if he is tired perhaps he wants the bottle because he can fill his tummy sooner and then get off to sleep. He has always been fed before sleeps not after, so I am not sure about changing that now...?
Im ok if DS wants the bottle over me, but not sure at 12months thats really ok ? Is it ok for a 12month old to want to self wean onto a bottle?
