I been breast feeding for about a month now and love to stop breast feeding the only problem is my daughter doesn't the formula she only enjoys drinking my breast milk... How can I get her to drink the formula? And what can I do to stop the milk from coming or will it just stop coming on it's own? Ftm going crazy here any advice feedbacks comments please feel free to post and thanks in advance.

You could try pumping then mixing a little formula in it so she gets used to the taste. Then gradually add more formula and less breast milk.

I never stopped at 1 month but when my son was 7 months it was quite easy.  I just refused him the boob and eventually he got hungry enough to take a bottle with formula.  Less than half a day.  A one month old might not be soo easy tho.

It will take a bit for her to get used to formula just keep at it as for drying up do it slowly pump every few hours at first than slowly increase the time between pumps...if you feel engorged when doing the pumping place a hot rag on yourself as you pump...if you stop cold turkey it could be dangerous for you and as you increase time between pumps use cold cabbage leaves...good luck hun :))

If u dont feel like u wanna breast feed nemore just pump and put it in a bottle for her :)

I don't think I'd stop at only a month, it's so good for the baby's development.  (It's said that babies who are breast fed do so much better on a whole lot of markers, including brain development, unusual as that sounds.)  Do you think you can hold out until the baby is three months old?
