I'm sure this has been asked before in one of the many threads but... my 15 month old ds is down to a morning and bedtime breastfeed (and occasionally one if he wakes between bedtime and midnight). I've started giving him a bit of milk in a Anywayupcup beaker before his breakfast (a couple of hours after his morning feed) and with his tea (about an hour and a half before bed). I usually heat it slightly but have also tried it cold once.
He doesn't seem keen in the slightest. He has milk with Weetabix and loves it and loves yoghurt too but drinking milk just makes him wrinkle his nose up.
I wanted to get him used to having milk in the beaker before replacing the final breastfeeds. He's been drinking from a cup/beaker for ages now so it's not that that's bothering him and I don't want him to have it from a bottle because that seems crazy when he's NEVER used a bottle before.
Any ideas for how to get him onto cow's milk before I stop breastfeeding?

PS I think it's time to stop because I'm sure he's not getting enough breastmilk now and he weaned himself happily from his daytime feed. I just need to show him there's a good alternative.
