My DS has been very successfully EBF from birth. Early on we introduced a bottle of expressed milk occasionally so he would get used to drinking from a bottle. Well somewhere between 3 and 4 months we had stopped giving him expressed milk because we found I was having problems with warming it. To cut a long story short I didn't want him to have formula unnecessarily so we stopped and that was that really. Well now we've started weaning and have tried to reintroduce the bottle along side this, this time with formula (Aptimal) and we're really struggling. It seemed he didn't like Avent bottles very much so we changed to Tommy Tippee and he will happily drink water from those so I know he is capable, but still will not take milk.
Can anyone suggest anything that might help, or is it simply that he doesn't like the taste of formula? I'd like to add that when we started weaning we gave him baby rice mixed with formula and he ate that very happily.
I'm planning on going back to work within the next 2 months so need to find a solution asap!
