HELP!!!
6 month old will not take bottles or sippys . I've tried my milk , I've tried apple juice , etc for her ... even oatmeal flavored mixed with my milk:( she took to a mam bottle a couple times but refuses now , she just bites it on the side now but will still drink some and make a mess too...
shell drink a Lil bit of juice sometimes and oz but nothing more and don't with my milk...
I don't know what to do D:
I no what u mean my Lil man is 6 months he don't do bottles or cups he don't like juice just breast milk so I gave up on trying to give him stuff its hard but I no I can do it just got to believe in my self I hope everything work out for you
it might. i had to give up on breastfeeding when my daughter was 7 months because, i got chickenpox and the medication that they gave me, could harm my baby through my milk. To my surprise, my daughter was really good about it, even know, one month earlier, when i tried to give her bottle she would just cry and search for my boob..😬 i think it all depends on a baby..
I hope so , I just don't want to force her and make her cry you know ? but I'm also wanting some time for her to take a bottle... I wonder if it'll get easier or harder the next couple months... @sensdelavie
@surfbumxxo, just dont give up until she takes a bottle. she is not hungry enough if she still tries to choose. i know its hard, and sounds completely cruel, but it will work.
@sensdelavie, I've tried waiting til she deffinetly is hungry , but she gets mad and cries and tries to get my boob :(
try giving her bottle when she is hungry. and i mean like, not when you think she is hungry but when she shows you that she is hungry. my daughter was the same way when i was quitting breastfeeding, it took her about a week to get used to. Also, make sure the fluid that you give her (juice, formula, etc) is warm.
thank you ladies ! at least I'm not alone. she likes apple juice but will only have about an oz thru a sippy cup. or mam bottle. I feel like when she's 3 months older it might be easier cuz shell realize she can watch TV while eating and stuff lol!
