Hiya,
I'm trying to bottle feed and breastfeed, and my baby is as happy to do both until she turned 7 weeks when she started rejecting the bottle. I'd really like her to bottle feed as well so that I can have a little break during the day or spend time my eldest daughter (2 yrs old) without having to constantly stop to feed my youngest who is now 9 weeks.
Does anyone have any tips as to how I might be able to achieve both? I was using tommee tippee closer to nature bottles, and we've now ordered new NanoBebe bottles which are apparently highly rated for those trying to do both (breast and bottle feed). I was hoping to give 1-2 bottle feeds a day, which would be formula (Kendamil as we're vegetarian), but I've also tried expressing milk in case my baby was rejecting the bottle because of the taste, but even that had no impact. I don't really want to express simply because I don't have the time
