Introducing bottle to ebf baby

Jacqueline

Oye did I create a problem! To me it is a problem btw! I want my ebf baby to start taking bottles. She’s now 6 months old and needs supplementation! She’s fallen off her growth curve and My supply is too low. I’ve tried Soo many bottles and tommee tippee seems to be the preferable one but she still wants to nurse more then take that bottle and I’m lucky to get her to take in a oz or 2 a day from a bottle. She’s been hovering at 16.4 for days and days.

Doesn’t matter if it’s formula or breastmilk in the bottle.

She cry’s at the sight of it sometimes and other times plays with it. I try to make it fun by shaking the bottle and making silly sounds making her laugh.

The times she has taken the bottle it took me bouncing her around the house and turning on the Lorax and then finally she takes in an oz or 2. Ughhhhhh.

Has anyone dealt with their ebf baby completely refusing to take. A bottle ? What worked for you?

In the meantime I am trying things to work on my supply.

I’ve looked into the sns system and I might get one but I really just want her taking bubbas

I honestly wish I could go back in time and start her on bottles from day one.
