Weaning a baby who won't take a bottle OR cup

Hi ladies,

I'll be returning to work in just over a month and was planning of weaning my LO over the course of the month.  We started this week and she refuses to drink from a bottle or cup (even though she generally LOVES her sippy cup when it is full of water).  My question is - if she refuses the milk from the bottle or cup, do I nurse her afterwards?  Or do I just drop the session and hope that she gets thirsty enough to finally take the cup or bottle?  I did make an appointment with my doctor next week but I wanted to know what others would do in this situation.

 Thanks!

  • I would make sure to offer things like yogurt or cheese and water if lo won't take milk from a cup. I would keep offering milk in a cup in time lo should take it.

  • Are you planning on weaning completely, or will you still nurse mornings and evenings?
