make her believe that it is her idea to stop and change.


Then it should happen without a problem.


Remember... You are the smart one in the relationship.

I usually just ignore them, but now I just feel kind of special that I caught their attention. I must be doing something right.

Trolling seems to happen a lot when discussing breastfeeding. I threw ya'll some points!

If you are really wanting her to take a bottle, then you need to be offering them much more frequently. Try cutting out one nursing session entirely and making the bottle the only choice at that time. Somebody else should offer the bottle and it should be at a time when she is starting to get hungry, but is not very upset.
