Refusing to take a bottle
« on: February 12, 2014, 20:49:20 pm »
Hi,

My LO is 6.5 months old.  We have tried to give him a bottle on numerous occasions of expressed milk however he refuses (he screams so much you'd think it was poison!)  I am due to return to work in 8 weeks and wanted him to be used to having a bottle from other people before this time.

Does anyone have any tips or advice?

Have a look at our FAQ which has some excellent ideas on getting a BF baby to take a bottle.
