Shared Tips on Breastfeeding to Bottle Feeding?
« on: July 10, 2006, 08:56:00 am »
Hello!

i have just discovered this website after searching the www for tips on how to get my 11 week to take a bottle!  Had no problems with my first baby but this lo just will not take to the bottle after successfully taking a couple of ounces here and there at 4-6 weeks.  Have tried lots of different bottles, teats, formula's, ebm - all to no avail.

Any one have any success stories or tips to share?

many thanks

Clare

Welcome to the boards  ;D
Are you currently breastfeeding and want to start using a bottle? Or are you trying to increase intake?
