Hi, I’m struggling to wean my 15-month-old daughter off breastfeeding. I think she’s mainly using breastfeeding for comfort now. I’ve been trying to get her to take a bottle, but she refuses any milk from it. She’s eating solids well, but I’m finding it really difficult to get her to drink milk from a bottle because she prefers breast milk.
Could I have some advice or tips on what I can do, please?

As long as you're still producing, you can pump the milk into a bottle for her, it's actually healthier than giving formula/other milk, and it still gives her what she's craving. Just make sure she knows it's still breast milk, ☺️

After 12 months they don’t need bottles. If you’re happy to stop breastfeeding altogether then you can just wean her off milk.
Formula over 12 months is pretty much just marketing.
