I'm very slowly starting the process of weaning my DD, and have decided to try and go straight to sippy rather than via bottles as she takes water pretty well from the sippy. Not really sure how to go about it and first attempt yesterday was a bit of a disaster, though I don't think I picked a great time as she was tired. My plan today is to try it again when she's less tired and offer just a couple of oz of EBM in the sippy, then a top-up BF afterwards, then (in an ideal world) over time increase the amount in the sippy. Then once she's happy with one feed, try the same with another. Does that sound like a reasonable plan? If she's not interested should I go straight to offering BF, or give it a break so she doesn't associate refusing the sippy with getting a BF?
Really feeling very mixed emotions about this - have really loved BF. But will be going back to work in a couple of months and work shifts so keeping a regular morning and evening feed isn't an option and I wanted to give us plenty of time to make this as gentle as possible on DD. Never thought I'd be so sad about it though
