Hello all! I am not very active on the boards now but do come once in a while to read great tips on nursing.
My daughter turned 1 on February 2 (so she is 13 months now). I had originally planned to wean her at 12 months. Throughout her first year I never offered her milk in a bottle or cup (maybe my mistake) but I was producing enough milk so didn't want to buy any formula and I was tired of pumping (my now 3-year-old never latched and pumped exclusively for him for 12 months so I was so done with pumping).
Now the trouble is I have been trying to introduce her to the cup for a month but with no progress at all. She drinks milk from it like she drinks water - a sip here a sip there but not any substantial amount. I have tried all kinds of cups, nothing is working. I know weaning doesn't happen overnight but zero progress is something I was not prepared for. People tell me to force her to sit and drink it but how can you force a 13-month-old to do something they don't want to? She just does not have the concept that the cup is for drinking milk from - she thinks it another fun toy. What can I do?
Thanks for your help!
