Going from breastfeeding to formula 🤯

Have you tried mixing with breast milk and slowly reducing the amount of breast milk in each bottle x

You can try giving the formula in a cup or beaker, at that age it may help with eventual transition to drinking everything from a cup

My little boy was soo fussy with bottles but he started taking it when we were giving empty bottles to play with during his wake windows.

It also helped that my partner gave him a bottle when I wasn’t in view. So for us that meant my partner would get up with him in the morning (and he wouldn’t see me at all) and give him his first feed of the day.

I honestly think he only took it in the end because we were so persistent and made sure we were offering it at least once every single day.

Good luck!

It took weeks, but I started offering bottle first every single daytime feed, then if he wouldn’t take it I topped up with breast milk. He now drinks about 5oz in most feeds.

He will still only drink in a darkened room and the milk has to be warm though.

yes so he drinks water from bottle/ beaker and he’s even trailing cups with handles but when he tastes the milk he literally spits it out 😂

I do think I could be more persistent thank you 🤍

might give this a try first thing in the morning. Thank you
