DD has previously happily take bm in bottle then when introduced to formula she threw up .Few days later took her to GP due to her exzema got worse ..diagnosed with allergy to cows milk . She's on aptamil pepti. Still refusing the bottle argh ! I'm going back to work in a week . I have a very small supply of frozen bm but won't be enough . My plan is to combine feeding - bf her in morning and when i get home . Will she ever give in to bottle ? ..It seems the experience of vomitting from.the bottle has put her off now ! Any ideas? ?

Vanilla ? U mean vanilla extract ? Does a drop really make a big difference?

Yes vanilla extract. Lots of babies don't like the taste of this formula and some people find that adding a flavour, like nesquik or vanilla help Smile
