Breastfeeding to bottle feeding??

Question

Okay, so I have been breastfeeding my baby girl for five months now. And only momentarily bottle fed her formula while I was in the hospital for surgery when she was a few weeks old. She took the bottle really well then and didn't seem to have any problems. Now she won't take a bottle for anything. I have tried with breast milk and formula and she sucks on everything else including toys and her hands and our hands! But she refused to suck on the nipple of the bottle. I'm getting kind of worried because once she gets teeth I don't want to breastfeed anymore. If you have any tips or information on how to get her to bottle feed please help.

Have you tried squeezing some of the goods out into her mouth? Maybe once she realizes it's a tasty snack she might catch on? Or you could try the sugar water trick

Answer

My little one hated mam and munchkin and ended up really liking Avent, it's one of the highest recommended for breastfeeding babies. Dr Browns was also highly recommended. Also if you haven't already, try to be as far out of the room and sight of her when the bottle is being tried for the first several times. If she can even sort of smell or see the "source", chances are she will deny the bottle.

Answer

Try different bottles with different nipple styles.
