Fussy 11 month old. Goes feral when I try to give a bottle or sippy cup. Boob only or drops through the bottom of A straw… anyone deal with this? Cold turkey doesn’t seem like an option. He’s stubborn and only in the 10th percentile at the moment…
Does he eat other foods? I personally don’t think it’s the time to wean, especially if his weight is low. If he eats other foods, dip the end of a straw cup in it and he can learn to sucks out of a straw that way.
He’s not ready. I would try to push through the last month as breastmilk or formula should be primary food until 1. Then do naps and bedtime only. For a week or 2. Then cut off completely. Also remember breastfeeding is recommended until age 2, if an option I would consider. But you have to do what is best for your family!
Will he take bottle from another person?
When you find the answer let me know… still at it with a 15 month old. I refuse to go past 2 also BF baby’s tend to be on the “smaller” side, not every time but on a general average. As long as he is eating and ped is happy that’s all that matters.
Start giving him some cereal and other foods and during the day a sippy cup.
Only give during nap time and bed time then cut out nap time then bed time .
