How to get LB to take milk from cup/bottle
I need help! My LB is nearly 11 months and has been EBF. I am now back to work and although i can work from home I do have to go to the office. I went in earlier in the week for all of an hour and a half before I had to come home because he was kicking off.
My problem is that my LB feeds to sleep and for comfort and will not have milk from a bottle. I’ve bought a weighted straw cup which I’ll persevere with trying but he’s just not interested. How do I make the switch? I was only planning to BF until he’s a year and then switch to cows milk but I have no idea how I’m going to do it?!

Kids can be picky about the nipple of the bottle, especially when they haven't used them by that point. You could try Dr. Brown's bottles. It's going to take some time to get him transferred over. Also, not sure if your doctor will say the same as mine, but mine wanted to keep milk to 20 ounces or less a day, and have my LO drink water or other beverages.
