17 wk old - refusing introduction of ff

good evening folks. someof you on thuis topic list will have seen (many!!) threads from myself in the past re. bf. we are still going with exclusive bf but on our final 2 week trial. if we cant crack the latest troubles - we are stepping off the bf route.

in prep for this possibility i have trying to get dd to take some formula. screams to house down. she is normally a really calm, contented wee girl but jeez - that all changes when it comes near her. she has been used to a bottle of ebm a day.

i have tried to give it to her at diff times of day, dp has tried, tried sleepy feeds, tried mixed with ebm. nothing works.

i am worried that if (when) we end bf - i am gonna have real trouble getting her to take ff.

any suggestions??

Hiya, haven't read the entire thread but do you think it's the taste of the milk or the actual bottle she has a problem with? You could try EBM to start with, get her used to the bottle (might have to try a few different bottles/nipples) and as others suggested you might have to introduce formula to EBM before going on formula exclusively. I had problems introducing formula to DS1, but he was much older than your little girl so it's a different story, but I know how frustrating it can be. Good luck, BP
