HELP! Please!
My DS of 25 weeks is refusing to have formula from a bottle. I've breastfed him exclusively until now but have just started weaning him (as advised by my health visitor). I was hoping to have him off the breast completely in the next month or so but he's refusing to drink from the bottle. I've tried different nipples and bottles and having other people try and feed him - to no avail! He will drink milk from a cup but I have now at of knowing how much he has taken because most of ends up on his bib!
He puts the bottle in his mouth himself but then takes it out immediately when he gets milk in his mouth. If I try and take over he clamps his mouth shut and shakes his head manically - needless to say, I haven't forced the issue as I don't want to give him negative 'bottle memories'. Do I keep persevering? Any suggestions/similar experiences most welcome! Thank you!
