Thanks for your response Bridget. My Jennah WILL NOT take a bottle. She started refusing when she was about 5 months old. She did great until then. I don't know what changed. I always had bmilk in the bottles. She never had formula or regular milk. She just stopped. I also have a hard time getting her to drink milk. Once sher realizes that is what is in her sippie cup she throws it down and has nothing else to do with the cup until you change what is in it. Her doctors have been saying she will wean her self, but I'm beginning to think they are crazy. Will take your suggestions and try them!! It never hurts to try. Hope to talk with you later Shannon.

HI it is hard to wean toddlers but babies just go with the flow. You have to be confident in you. I feel guilty every time i start the either milk or formula (in my allergy baby) I can feel myself saying stop but my supply is down and always does this at a year. SHe guzzled down an 8ouncer last night before bed and slept for 6-7hours woke and i fed her a 6 ouncer and she slept till 6am!! I am so happy. Do you use bottles at all?? My meggie Likes them for some reasion. C i want my body back i want to be able to loose my last bit of weight and it is all for me now! I did it for her for 12 months and now it my turn. Its all about atitute to me? Just take her out to the store and buy her special sippy cups to put the milk or what ever u can put in it to REPLACE a bfing. One a day for like 3-4 days then 2/day for 3-4 days and so on..... with in a month or less depending on you two, you will be breast free!!!!!! OR just dont offer done refuse? Try it and u will need support at home from your Family. it is hard to stop sucha wonderful thing but i always found that if you stop it b4 they realize you are more sucessful. Mess me with your progress it is hard but if you can get thru thoes 1st 3 weeks in the begining with the huring nipples and bleeding if you had it and etc you can get thru this! THan all u have to start is potty training!! LOL i had my 1st 2 done by 20 months! before they became stubborn!! LOL!! HOpe to chat/talk with you some time take care Bridget
Thank you, I never thought of the flow. I was a stay at home mom with my last daughter so, I never used a bottle. I have an Avent bottle, but I believe it came with a medium or slow flow nipple. I will try the fast flow.
