Getting 1x ff bottle a day into ebf 19wk old baby

[BusyCee]

Hi. I'm trying to get 1x formula feed a day into DS2. Thought the bedtime feed best as it fits with family, and what we did withDS1. However, he doesn't seem to get the bottle, pushes it out of his mouth, would rather scream and go hungry than drink from the bottle. Last two nights I've ended up giving him the boob anyway. So. Do I try to get him on a bottle for another feed during the day first and then migrate to bottle in the eve? Any suggestions welcome.

Hi Busy, is there anyone else that could give him the bottle ?
He might not get it if he is snuggled in to you smelling your milk.
There will probably be someone else along soon to offer wise words of wisdom, good luck.

Thanks Arya - good call, thanks. Will try to get OH to commit to the time for a couple if nights at least

My 21 week DD happily takes a bottle of expressed breastmilk but only from someone other than me. I think as a posseser of boobs it just confuses her when I offer a bottle instead. Not tried with formula though.
