Nursing a toddler

[*Ali*]

If you've not been feeding at night up to now I would just resettle without a feed. She will protest but after a few nights she should stop waking to ask for BF.

I wouldn't bother with other milk either. And defo wouldn't start a bottle at this age.  In the UK we are advised to stop bottles by 12mo. Does she have any milk in cereal?

The BFing is good for immunity as well as nutrition so I would just keep offering and let her take what she wants. I bet you would be surprised how much a 1yo can take in a 1-2min BF anyway.

Will do. I'm pretty worried as I have no experience in this and the child can scream! She is having 2-3 oz with oats and I have now been giving her some with meusli in the evenings too. I'm going to just stop stressing about this then. I have NWs and EWs to worry about anyway

So if bottle use is discouraged after a year..how is milk given? Only straw/sippy cups?

I use a doidy cup for B, he seems to prefer that to a sippy for milk - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Doidy-cup-Cup-Turquoise/dp/B0012GFV7S

Any kind of cup really.
