Getting a 7 mo old to take a bottle
« on: October 17, 2012, 14:07:22 pm »
Hi,

My LO is 7 1/2 months old and won't take a bottle. She did when she was younger, but stopped around 4 months (just played with it - would no longer drink from it). She was EBF until 6 months, now is on solids (2 - 3 times per day) + breast milk (5 times per day). How do I get her to start taking a bottle again? I want to express milk and take an evening off!

Thanks!

Have a look at this link

Breastfed babies and bottles

If you need more help I'll get some of the breastfeeding ladies to have a look - I only bottle fed!
