help 10 month old won't take bottle :(
« on: March 07, 2016, 22:44:32 pm »
I need help desperately...i need to go back to work and my baby won't take a bottle or sippy cup. He has been exclusively breast fed for 10 months no bottle at all.Whenever i leave him with caregiver he just cries. I would like for him to take a bottle so i can get a break and the caregiver can also feed him when im not there. Can i give bottle while he is sleeping will that work?
Please suggest anything that may work for 10 month old.

Have you tried a straw sippy cup or maybe just an open cup?

Can you get to Boots, if you're in the UK? If so, their 'first cup', suitable from 4mo, was what we used instead of a bottle. £1.49.
