Introducing a bottle to a bf baby

[SEJames]

I am going to go back to work and we can't get our 3 month old to take a formula bottle. She just screams and refuses it. Any ideas to help.

Try ebm, not formula. Try it cold, warm & hot. Try a different bottle. Try different times of the day. Try different people giving it - you not being there can sometimes help. Try different positions - e.g. sitting LO in a baby chair instead of holding them.

I have just managed to get my 8mth old to have a bottle, she wouldnt take formula or EBM hot cold or delivered from the moon!!!
Im going back to work in 3 weeks and she refuses a cup as well other than tiny sips of water.

So I just sat with a bottle in my mouth and gave her one at the same time and she gulped the lot. I was soo happy I just called DH at work to tell him.

Good luck
