Bottle refusal! Trying to switch from breastfeeding...

[RoseArcana]

Hi all

I'm currently trying to wean my nearly 6 month old LO from breastfeeding as I'm going back to uni next month and I certainly won't have time to study, work and express So I'm accepting that our breastfeeding journey needs to come to an end.

I've been trying different bottles, sippy cups, syringe feeding She took 3oz last night after switching her dummy with her bottle and I managed to get her to take 3oz earlier by swapping from the breast but this afternoon nothing worked.

I really thought I'd cracked it earlier but now I know I'm no where near.

Please help someone... I'm getting so stressed about it all. I know I could continue feeding at night but I don't think it's for me. I'll be studying quite a lot at night so I could do with being able to let OH take over if I need him.

Thanks in advance x

Have you tried MAM bottles? They have an unusual shaped teat that a lot of babies seem to get on with. They are self sterilising too, which is a bonus. I tried every bottle on the market with Holly, and they were the only ones she liked.

Thanks. Just ordered one

My lo refused everything too. Order an Adiri nurser. He took it right away

I have the same issue then tried vital baby bottles and she took to them better. You can buy from Amazon x
