Re: Weaning, now what?
Maybe if you do a very slow wean - adding tiny amounts of formula to breastmilk over a period of a good few weeks - she will not notice that she is now drinking (objectively yucky) formula. That's what I did when the Dr recommended soy formula for Sam. I gave him a bottle, and he completely refuse. But two or three weeks later he was drinkingt hat same bottle perfectly happily, because I'd made the change so subtle and gradual. Good luck!

BIG HUG! pH study in Aug 2007 showed reflux Barium swallow in Jan 2008 came back normal Gastroscopy in Jan 2008 showed oesophagitis Meds change from 30mg Losec to 40mg Nexium in Jan 2008 pH study in June 2008 showed reflux, but that the meds were keeping the acid under control (Sam's drinking formula much better. He is now putting tiny bits of some table food in his mouth and swallowing them!!! The bulk of his nutrition still comes from foods of pureé consistency, though.)
