Weaning breastfed baby during the day
My little girl turned 1 on the 13th March and will breastfeed on waking, before her morning and afternoon naps and at bedtime but I'd like to transition her to milk from her cup. How has everyone done this? If I refuse to feed (to sleep) she goes crazy so I need advice on how you went about this please 🙏🏼

You need to stop nursing to sleep first I think. That’s what I did. Start by unlatching her as soon as she falls asleep on the breast. Then unlatch her when you can see she’s getting sleepy and rock her instead. Then do it earlier and earlier in the nursing session. Then eventually do them entirely separately and just rock her to sleep. Or a different way she likes to go to sleep. I did each part for a few days and she protested much less than I expected.
@Rhonda this is perfect, thank you so much!
