My baby has seemed to take more to the bottle recently for diluted juice and just drank 2 1/2 oz of formula no problem when you couldn't get her to even suck on a bottle before. Is this a sign she's ready to start weaning off the boob? It makes me really sad but I feel like I've always been the barely enough kind of milk producer. So maybe it's best for her? Since 6 months we used formula in her rice cereal/oatmeal so she does have a taste for it.

Why juice?

It's rare I give her like half an ounce of the 6 month apple juice to an ounce of water and give it to her like once or twice a week just to get her used to getting something from some kind of bottle/sippy.

I have no idea 😂 My daughter didn’t wean til 2.5 and my son is almost 2 and not weaned yet. If your supply is low and she’ll take the formula then I say go for it. You’ve made it a long way! 👏

My son didn't want the boob at all so he was formula fed so this is all new to me lol! She seems to still be doing fine with it she gains a pound a month sometimes a little more with nursing and formula in her oatmeal it's just she's never taken a bottle really until now so I'm wondering if it's a sign 😂 good job with feeding them that long you are a champ! Thank you for that I'm pretty proud of myself and if she lets me I'd like to make it a year but making it to about 10 months isn't bad.

well there’s no reason why you can’t do both! If she wants to nurse then latch her on, maybe just do morning and night but bottles in between.

I think I might try that! That way weaning her off after one might be an easier transition.

I’d say no. She probably just likes it. It different then milk. Some kids want fresh off the tap and refuse bottles with milk.

She likes both now I guess she even lifted my shirt this morning and latched herself 😂
