My baby doesn’t want to drink from the bottle , any tips ?

I use a free flow cup! I personally don’t see the point in offering a bottle now if they recommend weaning then off at 12 months

How old will she be when you go back to work? X

She will be 9 months , so she will still need breast milk or formula x

Use a beaker/cup. I'm in the same boat as you and there's almost not much point weaning her onto a bottle just to wean her off in a few months when she's 1.
We started using water in a beaker alongside weaning and I'm going to try milk next as she's getting on well with the little tommee tippie weaning beaker. And she will NOT take a bottle/dummy etc. So I'm holding out hope x

Hi Alison, I tried earlier this evening with exactly the same cup ,it looked like it was working for the first 10 seconds and after that she started crying and refused to drink .
I guess I just have to keep trying ?😩😩😩

Yes do xx
My girl was disgusted that I was giving her something other than boob in the beginning lol Try and get a bit on her lips. Good luck girl, I know how stressful all of this is especially with the pressure of returning to work in the back of your mind x

Thank you 🙏🏻 I will keep trying , and yes it is soo stressful 😩 xxx

my son just didn’t take milk in the day when i worked at 9.5 months. He fed before and after and a LOT throughout the night but was happy on water and food at nursery. But what worked for us yhis time with my daughter was exploring different temperatures and positions over a period of time - she was much more relaxed lying in a side position (almost similar to how I’d breastfeed like this https://vm.tiktok.com/ZGd6jpwG2/) and needed a hot bottle, warmer than my milk is naturally.

We also let her explore playing with the teat before offering a bottle, then offered every day for almost two weeks before she eventually took it. For us Dr Browns was best but I know all babies are different. Xx

Thank you so much Lesley , I will definitely try offering the milk at a different temperature.
