Hi, I'm looking for tips on introducing bottles to my EBF DD. She is 5 weeks, and I want her to have the odd expressed bottle, e.g. so DH can help with night feeds at weekends (MW has said my supply is good so we can start doing this).
DH has attempted to give her a bottle tonight, she is calm & alert and has had a small feed from me first so not starving hungry, but still rooting for 2nd boob. She's taking the bottle but just chewing the teat rather than sucking.
Does anyone who has successfully introduced expressed bottles have any tips? Is it just a case of continuing to offer and eventually she'll learn what to do?
TIA.
