Pumping Some Milk And Offering It To My Baby: He Refused 🥺

This Saturday, I was finally determined to wean my baby from breastfeeding.
‎
‎I bought a breast pump and a bottle, being ready for this new chapter.

I decided to try pumping some milk, just a few milliliters, to get my little one used to the idea.

As I was learning more about how it works, I was utterly amazed.
‎
‎The gentle suction mimics a baby's natural nursing, lol.
‎
‎It efficiently extracts milk while maintaining comfort.
‎
‎In every pump and each drop, I'm feeling hopeful.

Then I offered the milk to my baby in the bottle.

To my surprise, my baby refused to take it. 🥺
‎
‎My little one was so used to breastfeeding that the bottle was unappealing.

Or maybe the nipple on the bottle wasn't right for him?
‎
‎Should I change it?
‎
‎Or is there something else going on?
‎
‎Though there were early struggles, I figured out that patience and determination were a must. 💪🏼
‎
‎I will try again, offering the bottle gently, reassuring my baby with a calm voice.
‎
‎This wasn't easy, I know.
‎
‎It will be frustrating, and doubting, but as I keep going, with love and persistence, my baby will adapt over time.
‎
‎In every small effort, although it was tough, it will lead to success.
‎
‎Do you have some tips that might help improve my strategy?
‎
‎Until my next weekend experience...
‎
‎Thanks for the visit! Have a lovely day. Buh-bye. 💗🌸
