Currently working on weaning from nursing and pumping. Yesterday for the first time only nursed AM at wake up and PM for bed. Super excited to attempt to not pump at work for the first time in 9 months! *happy dance* However, my daughter refused to drink any milk yesterday from a sippy or a bottle. My daughter is 12 months and we would like her off the bottle but our in home daycare provider isn't pushing it, since she isn't drinking milk from a sippy well yet and she wants to make sure daughter drinks enough milk still during the day so she keeps with the bottle. (on food program) But my strong willed daughter refused milk even from a bottle with me downstairs out of sight. She never had issues when introducing a bottle or going back in forth between nursing at home and bottles at daycare. She also drinks water from a sippy just fine.

Any suggestions on how to encourage her to still drink milk at home? Curious to see how daycare goes today. I think she has her routine at daycare and knows when I am around I am the source, even though she didn't seem to mind not having any daytime nursing sessions yesterday. And I think daycare will fight back if I say to stop the bottles completely.
