My 15 month old will not drink cows milk, any advice?

Hiya,
I’m still breastfeeding because my baby doesn’t like cows milk, she doesn’t like formula either.
But she does drink cows milk with her weetabix, she just won’t drink it on its own.
She’s also never ever taken to a bottle, even if I put breastmilk in it. So I’ve been trying straw cups instead which she uses to drink water.

A friend of mine said her 15 month old only drinks cows milk if she mashes banana into it but I don’t wana do anything like that cos I think it’s too much sugar intake maybe?

I really really want and need to stop breastfeeding for my own sanity but because she won’t drink cows milk, I can’t lol :/

Any suggestions please

Tia xx

She can get her calcium intake in other things like cereals, yoghurt, cheeses etc.
If she doesn’t drink it it’s not the end of the world.

Have you tried heating the cow milk? That worked for my son.

Colostrum

Started harvesting my colostrum last night. I managed to get 1ml from one breast (could’ve collected more but as it was my first time I didn’t want to overdo it) but when I went to collect from the other breast I got nothing, only a little drop. Is it normal to get more colostrum in one breast than the other?

Maxi Cosi Car Seat

Is this normal for the Maxi Cosi Pebble 360 car seat to rattle like this? The base is sturdy and all green tabs are showing, it’s just the car seat that feels loose!

Emma's Diary offers (not bags)

Sorry if this has come up before, I tried to search.

Has anyone successfully bought products from the offers section on the Emmas Diary website?
Where there are links to other stores with heavy discounts like 60%-90% off.
Seems too good to be true but Emma's Diary bags are legit (albeit full of marketing)

Im specifically looking at a product from The Nursery Store.

Thanks!
