Refusing to bottle-feed during weaning
It's not always easy to get your baby to accept a bottle during weaning! For the moment, he's only known breastfeeding and this change may worry him:
- A bottle and its nipple do not have the same softness and warmth as a mother's breast.
- The more you insist, the more pressure your child will feel and the more he will refuse to feed by sucking on the bottle.
- You can try changing the shape and material of the nipple, as some babies will accept silicone nipples but refuse rubber, or vice versa.

What is everyone's favorite bottle to go between breast and bottle? Has anyone tried lansinoh bottles? Also looking for any tips on breastfeeding. I tried with my last baby but it didn't work very well. She had trouble latching and I had a lot of trouble producing milk.

All 3 of my breastfed kids would only take the MAM bottles starting out. My sister had problems getting her baby to take a bottle and I told her to give it a try and it's all her baby would take as well. 4/4 success rate lol. Over all they are easy to clean...very durable..and they self sanitize in the microwave. I have not tried the silicone ones tho so I have no input there. I did try other in that brand. As far as producing milk. Body armour and oatmeal. I tried pills/supplements....only thing that actually worked and it's affordable.

Do you have Tommee Tippee bottles? Try placing the bottles in from the side of his mouth or putting a pacifier in then switch to the bottle to get him to suck. That worked for my son.

not pregnancy related but mom related. I'm 14 weeks pregnant and I'm trying to wean my almost 12 month old from breastfeeding. because its going to be very hard for me to have a toddler breastfeeding as well as a newborn all after having a c section. it breaks my heart that I'm weaning her, but I know it needs to be done. any tips or methods that anyone can give me? im mixed feelings about doing so. but I know I have to do it. she takes a bottle but not at bedtime. #

Hey moms!! How did you transition your child from exclusively breastfeeding to using a bottle (w/breast milk). My son will be attending daycare soon (bc I have to go back to work 😩) and He will not drink from a bottle. Any suggestions?
Junie
I supplemented once I went back to work. I’ll send her with formula but when we’re home she’s getting breast milk from me or any milk I have saved in a bottle from pumping at work

My daughter turned 1 last month, need advice on weaning off the bottle, how many bottles of whole milk a day? She's used to getting a bottle first thing in the morning when she wakes up and before bed, any advice or tips would be helpful

Just put her milk in a sippy cup. I just took the bottle from mine about 10 months. It was pretty easy

None. The cow's milk isn't even necessary after the weaning years, like we are told in the mainstream today. Calcium and vitamin D should be given to her through a balanced whole food diet. The mass produced, factory-farmed cow's milk found on store shelves today isn't even healthy, and is void of any real nutrition. The homogenization process kills anything good that was every in it, then they add synthetic vitamins to make it worth something. Water is fine. No need for milk. I wouldn't even stress it. As long as baby girl is eating, don't worry about the milk. It can also cause milk rot teeth giving them cow's milk in their bottle when they go to sleep, or just having it all day long. There's really no benefits to cow's milk, especially when it isn't local farm, raw cow's milk, that hasn't been processed. I don't give my 13 month old any bottles to go to bed. She just nurses occasionally, and she sleeps all night, because she eats meals.

I liked Tommee Tippee bottles. The center piece doesn't only help prevent colic but also features a strip that turns pink if the milk is too warm for the baby. Plus the nipples are shaped to be closer to natural ❤️
