Title: Questiob about smoothies
Post by: Yazzie on December 21, 2009, 15:55:48 pm

Hi,

I have a 6 months old lo & am due back to work in 2 weeks. My lo is ebf & having 3 solid meals per day, problem is that he won't take bm in a bottle... :-X..So, was thinking maybe I can make him something like a smoothie using by bm, any ideas?

Thanks.

Will he take it from a sippy? Or take a bottle from someone else (ie not mummy)?

He won't take a bottle from anyone @ all, I even left the house yesterday to make sure he wasn't smelling me & still no success...!...I tried giving him formula in a sippy cup yesterday, which he accepted, so today will try bm, only problem is that he still can't get the idea of drinking from it, he doesn't seem to swallow much liquid...:-(

It takes practise to get the hang of a sippy. Also you may find that when he is going a whole day at your MILs he may take the bottle because he will be more hungry! Another idea is to get a sippy which has a valve (rather than free flow spout) which makes it a bit easier to drink from because you have to suck then swallow.

I'm definitely trying loads of things @ the moment..:)..I just sooo hate going back to work, but I need to, both mentally & financially.!

Anyhow, one of the things we're trying @ the moment is one of those squirt spoons, will try in a bit

Thanks for the thoughts & will keep you updated..:)
