Bottles

[winterbabies3]

Has anyone not introduced a bottle to their baby? I'm thinking at 6 months when solids get introduced I can introduce a sippy cup and just skip the bottle...then I can start pumping or what not and just out it in a sippy? To far fetched?

Not at all! I tried a bottle but my eldest two wouldn't take one, they went to a sippy cup asap

This is what I plan on doing. Hopefully it works. I have a stash of milk in the freezer. I pump off 4-5 oz per day. Not much but hopefully by the time I stop or reduce feeding directly from the breast I will have enough to get him thru to 1yr old ... maybe lol!

I don't think you have to use bottles at all. Just keep in mind that babies get more than just milk from breastfeeding and your LO might not be happy to swap the cuddles and comfort for a sippy. Youve probably already considered that, but I just hate the thought of anyone beating themselves up or thinking they did something wrong when their baby refuses everything but breast.

Noon we have already had problems w a pacifier so I don't think the bottle will go well either
