EBF 7 month old to bottle

[Cheesestring19]

Hiya mamas I have a 7 month old baby girl who has been EBF since birth. Im
wsnting to try a bottle. So far we’ve had a lil success with mam bottles and lansinoh teats. She’s not angry with these and will occasionally suckle but mostly chew. I was told by my hv to use the ready feed bottles instead of formula powder as these are creamier and taste more like breast milk. Wanting to see othered experiences plz xxx

Is the point to get her to take a bottle, or to get her to accept formula - or both?

Rather than giving her two new things at once, I would express for a while, so that even though the bottle experience is new, the taste of the milk is familiar.

I would also get someone else to try giving her the bottle. My daughter never accepted a bottle from me - but she happily took it from the childminder.

Then only introduce formula once she is happy with the bottle.

Thanks for the reply. She won’t take breastmilk from a bottle at all. I tried because I thought the same as you. But she cries at the bottled breastmilk. She doesn’t cry at bottled formula. X

How interesting.

I was never able to give mine a bottle, but her childminder was, so it didn’t matter.

Presumably as your daughter is now 7 months she is taking solids. Have you tried giving her milk in a cup?
