So this is a little more personal than my usual post, but I need help from any of the more experienced moms out there. I decided that this was the week to start weaning Elise. I really didn't think she'd have a problem because she takes a bottle regularly. However, I was wrong.
I started replacing her afternoon feeding with a bottle. She'll take the bottle to a point, then she starts screaming and rooting. I've tried just putting her in her crib and letting her cry to sleep, but she's not full, so she just cries and cries.
I wasn't prepared for weaning to be this emotional struggle, but it is!
Anyone have any successful weaning tips?

Consider nursing longer than you'd intended. Sounds like your cutie still needs that snuggle time.
