Breast to bottle transition help please

[Ellen2012]

I'm trying to get my 9 week old to take a bottle, having ebf since birth, Every time I try she just cries. So far I have tried NUK bottles, tommee tippee, dr.browns. My husband works away so getting someone else to feed her is not an option. Any advice?

I had success with MAM teats. Some babies just don't take quickly tho, so it might take a lot of patience. Have you tried when she's sleepy and therefore relaxed. If she's super hungry it might be more tricky too. Good luck!

Thanks, I'm going to go shopping later and hopefully I'll get one and persevere!

Don't feed her when she's hungry or tired. Wait till she's feeling happy and playful, just after a bf. If you can stop bf a bit before she's finished then let her have a bottle, whilst still cuddled close to your breast. Worked with DD.
