Baby won't take bottle!

[fieldofdaisies]

Looking for any tips/magic solutions on how to convince my 6 month old to take a bottle/beaker/anything other than boob!
I've exclusively bf from birth but after suffering with mastitis and going back to work in 4 weeks I desperately want to stop bf and switch to formula. We have tried bottles now and then from when she was born but she's never taken to them. Help!

My wife slowly introduced the bottle as a way of breastfeeding until the baby fully adopt it because it takes days, months, years for them to adjust.

Mine never had a bottle, I just fed them when I got home. DS2 is still going at 30 months!

We used an advent spouted cup, then an anywayup cup - never took a bottle. As I wasn't working it wasn't crucial but by 8-10 months I tended to give the cup in places where bf a wriggling toddler wasn't ideal (she ran at 9 months!)

So pleased that you have had success. I am in the exact same situation with 6 month old DS but he is also refusing solids.

I am going to try him with a the Tommee Tippee cup and the 360 to see if I have any success.
