My daughter refuses a bottle, I’m trying to switch to formula but she cries and cries, I’ve tried putting 3 quarters of breast milk in a bottle and then 1 quarter formula and she won’t even take that. I even tried a different bottle... I’m so stressed and upset because I have no desire to breastfeed anymore, I just don’t know what to do

@izzytastic, I haven’t only because this is what we get with WIC, I’m giving her similac total comfort

Maybe try a different bottle. I used NUK with my son. The nipple mimics the shape of moms nipple so baby can easily transition from breast to bottle.

Also try letting someone else feed her until she gets used to the bottle. I did with my son and the transition was seamless. But don't give up mama, motherhood is all about trial and error. You'll eventually find something that works for you. ❤

@chasha2017, I’m going to have to try that, I’m willing to try anything at this point because I’ve been so stressed.... @izzytastic, thank you!! I’m going to try that

I’ve been weaning my son too because the breastfeeding thing is just stressing me out way too much. I got a few enfamil sample packs and right now I’ve started with the newborn formula in the ready to use bottles. I started mixing 50/50 and at first he didn’t like the taste but he got used to it no problem. I started with 3 days just one 50/50 bottle and the rest of the day he got breast milk. Now I’m up to two bottles 50/50 for his first two feedings with the rest of the day breast milk. So far that’s working good for us. Hopefully you can find something she likes that works for the both of you 😊

My son refused to breast feed since he could tell I was stressed by it. Kids can sense your stress and are affected by it. If you can, try to relax and I bet it will all work out.
