I was wondering if anyone else had gone through this and can help. My son is breastfed and drinks breast milk from a bottle when I'm at work... lately he is not interested in nursing and is decreasing his bottle intake. I'm kind of worried about it, because his actual meals are not that big and I know he wants milk because of how he's acting. He will be a year old in about 2-3 weeks and we will most likely stop our breast feeding journey then.... but in the meantime how can I get him to nurse? I've tried the dark room with no distractions and that only works about 50% of the time. Thanks in advance! 😃

Definitely self-weaning, just give him more baby food when he turns down nursing or the bottle.
He's probably self weaning. Not much you can do to force him unfortunately.
This happened to my mother. Some babies just know when they want to stop. She said that she just had to up our food intake so that we weren't hungry and let us ween ourselves! We were even younger though. Around 9 months!
so my husband wants to feed are baby but the thing is that I will be breastfeeding so idk how it would work. he was thinking that when he wants to feed him he would give him formula but I just want my baby to have breast milk. so then he said why don't you pump your milk out and I'll feed it to him and i thought that would be the best thing but then I'm scared that my baby will get use to the bottle. I need help idk what to do because my husband really wants to feed him :/ and we need to come up...
(Thread Closed) Nighttime feedings
So I got this awesome bottle warmer that has a cooling chamber so you don't have to go to the fridge for a bottle. My husband told his co-worker about it and she asked why we needed it if I'm going to breastfeed. He said its for when I start pumping so he can help with feedings at night. She then said he shouldn't have to get up and help because I don't work.
My husband takes his cousin girlfriend to work. Should I be worried about the FEMALE coming on to my husband?
If I decide to exclusively bottle feed with breast milk how do I take milk with me if I go out for a day??
PLEASE PRAY FOR ME , I'm about to really break down , the day I couldn't go see my son because my swelling has become Extremely dangerous. this new nurse gave him formula && he ended up spitting up really bad , like really lady my milk is there && you should have received 3 more bottles at 5:30am this morning, talking about she Didn't look ... REALLY. The Reason Hes On My Breast milk is because the formula makes him Spit up, you really think a mother who knows this would let there baby run out o...
Oy, thank you @mandi.marie, @aboutellesbabes, @arivera64!!! I will continue to give the feeds I can and just try to give him milk through his bottle or cup.
