I came across this at the exact moment today when I was trying to figure out what to do about my 15 mo. daughter who just woke up 2 days ago and is refusing her bottle. Exactly how you explained it happened with Major. It was completely out of the blue and I am in total denial! Thanks for your honesty and your post today–its putting things in perspective for me and reminding me to look for the sweet moments in the midst of transition. The milestones are so bittersweet. Thanks again 🙂

Perfect name for Major! He’s embodied both his mom and dad. He’ll drink milk again, give him time, especially if big sister is modeling it. Amazing, to know children come with their own personalities. It shows how we, as parents, must individualize our children and love their individualities. He’s doing just fine!

Ugh. My first (and maybe my last) baby is almost 9 months old and a couple weeks ago he started rejecting the breast completely. Like, he’s been personally victimized by my boobs. He SCREAMS whenever they get near him. He will now only take a bottle, and that made me really sad. What’s even more sad now is that he doesn’t want to be cuddled while taking a bottle anymore. He wants to sit up and drink it. I’m not ready!! It’s so bittersweet to see him grow and evolve. Part of me wants to keep him little forever, but part of me can’t wait for him to be a little more independent.

I definitely needed this post. My 13 month old is still breastfeeding (more obsessed than ever) and I’m trying to get her on to take a sippy cup of milk so that we can work on weaning. She is not having any part of it. And now she is also rejecting pumped milk from the bottle. Since I work full time, she is not getting any milk while I’m gone during the day. We are trying to get her to drink more water but that is going slowly too. Since she is my first babe, I’m constantly questioning whether or not I’m doing it right. I suppose I will keep breastfeeding a bit longer and see where that takes us. But, it is reassuring to hear there are other kids out there who are doing okay without daily milk in their diet. Thank you for this!

Oh my gosh, what an ordeal you went through! I’m so sorry you had to go through all of that, and with such emotional drama on top of that. I’m glad you found your new normal (also, isn’t pumping THE WORST)

Isnt it amazing how completely different two siblings can be? I mean of course it makes perfect sense but in practice sometimes it’s so surprising!

We don’t really eat cow dairy either, mainly goat. Because of my own allergy I try to avoid it with the kids too (though thankfully neither of them got my allergy!)

Transitions with babies are so emotional, no matter if they’re your first, last, whatever!

Hang in there mama!
