Swapping to cows milk

When my baby turns one in April I want to wean her off breastfeeding with the goal of her being completely off breast by end of May. She’s currently on 4 boob feeds a day. She’s also no longer taking a bottle of expressed milk. How do I start the weaning? And does anyone have any recommendations of cups I could try? Please don’t ask questions about why I’m choosing to stop. I think a year is plenty and it’s not something I’m wanting to do past a year 😊 TIA

Does she take a straw cup? D

@Emma I’ve not tried her on any cup except one of those cups they drink from to practice drinking from an open cup. She took water fine from it but wouldn’t drink milk from it

@Leah my Lg really likes a straw cup, it might be worth trying her with milk in one. One without a valve. B&M have some good ones in. And I’m the same as you. I return to work soon and my little girl will be one, so wanting her on milk. Luckily she’ll take expressed, so I’m waiting a bit to introduce cows milk.

@Emma problem is we moved from abroad so I don’t have any milk expressed back here 😭 so don’t have a stash so it’s looking like a straight swap. Unless I can express when I get back to work

@Leah a straight swap should be okay, but I’d definitely try her with a straw cup x

@Emma thank you!
