A. Sometimes weaning off the baby from breastmilk can take longer than expected because of the different taste of the cow milk. Try to mix cow milk with your milk in a bottle in the initial days and then feed. Once she develops the taste stop the dilution. Also, do not offer feed yourself and whenever it is time, take help from other family members to bottle feed as babies tend to ask for milk when they see the mother around.
