Introducing a bottle for 7 month old.. Tips please

[rainbowfairydust]

Hi, any tips for how to convince my baby to take a bottle? Would love her to have one at bedtime but she isn't having any if it! She will happily drink water from a sippy cup but if I put milk in it, she won't have it. I have tommee tippe bottles and mam and using hipp pre made milk warmed slightly

Just offer it to her everyday until she gets use to it. And be prepared to waste a lot of formula in the process! But eventually she might accept it. Alap if you're currently breastfeeding, you could try unlatching her whilst she's sleepy and slipping the bottle in and then gradually work up to giving it her whilst she's fully awake.

Both of mine were ardent bottle refusers but if you have a look in the MN archive there will be lots of old threads with some good tips
