I am not sure if this is in the right place but it seems the most appropriate (please move if it is not).
DD and I have been on our BF journey for 15 months. We struggled initially with Thrush that just would not quit and then we were told that she was tongue tied at nearly 9 weeks of age. We have settled into a routine with DD setting the pace. I can honestly say that BF is not something that I have really enjoyed but I haven't disliked it either. Gee that doesn't make much sense but its the only way I can describe my feelings. But I am ready to have my body back (I know that sounds selfish)
So after 15 months I am ready to wean DD.I have tried before without much success. DD is down to a feed in the morning and one before bed. She dropped her afternoon one a while ago. I kept offering but she just wasn't interested (I am not even sure if this it the right amount of feeds for her age ?). I do understand about dropping one feed at a time to avoid mastitis (thinking its not that hard for only 2 feeds).
Do I replace the feeds with cows milk? And if so how? DD refuses to drink the stuff. I have tried to give it to her in sippy cups, even a special just for milk cup. I have tired it hot and cold, even just giving it to her during the day as no pressure drinks?
Please help. I am completely lost as to what to do?
