Title: prefers breast to bottle question
Post by: jdipa on December 29, 2005, 14:22:37 pm

My LO is 8 wks old.  He takes 2 bottles of breast milk a day, but prefers the breast.  When we give him a bottle, he takes an hour to get in a normal feed.  He takes his time and will only take a couple ounces at first and then not any more until he's very sleepy.  Any thoughts on how we can get him to take the bottle in the same amount of time as the breast?  He's on the breast for 20-30 minutes.  He doesn't get any activity time when we do the bottle b/c it's just us constantly trying to feed him!  Help!

Hi  :D

You may want to try a different or faster nipple if you haven't yet.  Also check out this link...there may be some more hints.
