Do you really need to wean if he is only going to care for one morning a week.  You may find that he won't mind just missing out on one feed.  Just send a training cup with him and he should be fine.. 

Seeing other children do this will also encourage him to try it, which will then make it easier for you to wean him off completely at a later date.

I had the same dramas with my little man when i weaned him. I ended up going out and buying a wide nipple bottle - it actually looks like a breast nipple - it was about $15 from the chemist, but worth it.

What i did was lay beside him very close and give him a quick suck of the breast (just enough to relax him) and then i would quickly swap to the bottle. It took me about 2 weeks to get him to take the bottle without the breast, but we did get there in the end.

Also i was thinking, at 15 months, you could try giving him milk in a sippy cup, or encouraging him to feed himself the bottle. I still lay with Austin when he has his bottle (he is 17 months) but he holds it himself.

I hope that this helps. Good luck xx

Your child obvoiusly derives much comfort from breastfeeding. Do you want to stop that? I weaned my first child at 11.5 mths as she was biting (I do regret). I just weaned her over the week just cutting back feeds. It would be harder if your bub wont take bottle.

Hi, I started to wean Jade when she was one. I didnt give her a bottle as she has a really good diet. The breastfeeding ass told me not to bother with any type of milk as long as she take yogurt cheese, etc. So for daytime sleeps i would run her around so she was just so tired and put her to sleep in my arms in the lounge room instead of the bedroom. As for night time i would just stay up longer and put her to sleep again in my srms in the lounge room. By changing her sleep routine and wearing her out she just stopped. I have to admit it wasnt that hard lucky me, I thought i would have to pry her off, lol

oh make sure he gets plenty of water.

Everyone is different I hope you win this mini battle

My daughter was similar. In the end I went to a Mothercraft Clinic and she told me she doesnt need the boob it's just a security and to put her to bed with a bottle and security toy and let her cry for five minutes if I could then go in offer the bottle again, reassure her I'm still here then leave and wait for the original time plus one minute. This didnt work too well and I ended up reading to her for a litttle while then doing controlled crying. Eventually she fell asleep while being read to but sometimes she would still be refusing then I would cuddle her until she fell asleep and put her to bed.

She is 11 now and we still have story time before bed. Sometimes she falls asleep others she wants more. I have been told by many people that she is too old for bedtime stories but I think it's a final bonding before bed and she sleeps better that way.

 My little boy was the same booby loving baby. He only used to sleep on the boob but when I decided at about 13-14 months to stop his all nighter & day feeds it was hard. It took me around 2 hours for the first times of just laying in the bedroom with him & letting him cry & crawl all over me until he went to sleep, either in my arms or on his mattress next to our bed. Now he's 15 months also & it still takes about an hour of laying in there with him pretending to be asleep for him to settle & eventually drift off. I figure you only get this one chance when they're babies before they don't need cuddles for sleep anymore so I'm just embracing it. Sometimes he takes a bottle of water but not often & he was never one to take a dummy. Just patience & a little faith & time ( if you have it!!) 

Good luck to you! It will happen!
