I’ve posted here before about my bottle refusing baby, and it’s not getting any better.
She’s 7 months old. She CAN take a bottle, she has done, so it’s not like I need to change the bottle/teat (which are Mam).
But she refuses. If she is babysat by grandparents she just had a stand off with them and refuses it. Eventually will take some as a dream feed (sometimes), but none while awake.
She won’t take any from me. Either screams the place down or chews at the teat.
I don’t necassarily want to stop breastfeeding, I just want to cut down, and have some freedom.
I have a wedding to go to in July that’s 2 nights away from her and I’m very nervous about that.
Weaning is going well, but I haven’t dropped any feeds yet, and she still seems to be gulping a lot of milk from me.
Is it a dreadful idea to add something to formula to make it taste nice for her? As a short term solution. I’m thinking vanilla essence, nesquik? I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I am at my whit’s end with trying to get this baby to take a bottle!! I would then reduce it as she got better with it.
I’m using Aptimil. I have used Hipp organic and she seemed the same but i’m considering trying again, and other brands. Or do they all taste the same?
Thanks
