introducing 1 bottle of formula to baby who won't take a bottle of EBM!!

[squirrel999]

Hello, I started another thread about me and my baby having thrush. I was trying to introduce 1 bottle in the evening of ebm, but now that the thrush has reappeared I am thinking of giving formula. Now, I have tried the closer to nature bottles, no joy, mothercare bottles, no joy, other tommee tippee bottles, no joy. i've heated the milk, no joy. and given it cold, no joy, have had husband try mostly, no joy, more joy with me given weirdly enough. friend giving bottle, got the teat in her mouth, which was progress cos she normally screams the house down.
I now have a NUk bottle, teat looks v nipple like. Do you thinnk that giviing formula might be more likely to work because its not mummy milk? and its something totally different and unexpected?

hi squirrel. cant answer about whther formula is better but have you tried mam teats? (they fit in avent bottles as well as mam bottles)like you, i tried loads of different bottles but these were eventually the only ones dd would take.

do keep trying, it took persistance to get dd to take ebm, and now i do one feed a night of formula or ebm and she's fine with it from anyone. good luck

Hi there, it took me about 2mths to get DD to accept a bottle of EBM so keep going. I succeeded with the TT Closer to Nature bottles and teats with me giving the bottle (strangely enough!).

How long have you been BF for?
