I'm sure this gets asked all the time but needing advice on how to get my LO onto bottles. For work reasons I need her fully on bottles by February, though hoping to still breastfeed at any night wakes. She's currently 9 weeks old and been exclusively breastfed. I've tried a handful of times giving a bottle and she just screams and cries and flat out refuses. I've tried ready made formula and freshly expressed milk, it's just the bottle she will not take. She won't take a dummy either, just gags on it which she also does on the bottle. I have the mam bottles I was hoping to use, have tried the mini cow and Gate ready bottles with the teats included that I had in her hospital bag and yesterday she did suck a little on that, though barely drank any milk. But today nothing but screaming. Feeling so stressed knowing I've not got long and worrying she'll lose weight. At the moment obviously I'm ending up breastfeeding her. Only trying once a day at the minute, should it be more? Tried in the evening and in the morning, no success. Keep reading about those Minbie bottles and if they're worth the money trying.
All help welcome!!
