BF baby refusing bottle in the middle of the night
« on: May 17, 2013, 08:46:49 am »
My LO is 7.5 months old. I am trying to get him to take a bottle when he wakes in the middle of the night for a feed so I am able to get him baby sat. He gets a bottle once a day now.  And is breast fed the rest of the time. I tried giving him a bottle yesterday. He drank it at first then when he rested choked and got uosef so I had to switch him to the breast. I changed the flow if the nipple so it would not come out unless he sucked tonight and he did not even give the bottle a chance. Not sure if I am posting in the right spot, but any suggestions?

Have you read this? Breastfed babies and bottles
There's lots of info on getting babies to take bottles on it.
