Breast to bottle

[HumptyDumpty1]

For several health, mental and academic reasons I'm moving DD onto a bottle today. She's 20 weeks old and I have no idea how much to feed her and how many times! She's 17lbs, does her weight make a difference to how much?

Any help would be much appreciated!

Is there not a chart on the tin? I'd start her on the age appropriate level and fiddle around for what I assume is the next three weeks if you're talking academic reasons?

Hope all goes well!

Thanks buttonmoon :) I wasn't sure if she'd take less being breastfed (I've heard at 6 months they can only take 4oz) but I'd need to giver her more because if her weight.

We just need her to actually take some now and stop spitting it out....

Yes - working out that is the harder bit! Good luck Only one of my 4 has been a bottle refuser but it was mighty frustrating!

She takes a bottle, most of the time! Just no formula yet which I should take as a compliment I suppose

Have you tried mixing ebm and formula? If she?ll take that, gradually reduce the amount of ebm in the bottle till it?s all formula.

We tried that after trying just formula but I think she's been put off from just formula. She's poorly now too so no chance of trying for a few days
