    Suggestion to get bubs to take a bottle

    A friend of mine is having trouble getting her LO to take a bottle - of any description whether it be from her, her DH anyone.
    Does anyone have suggestions I can give her to help him take a bottle??

    How old is the child? A mum in my mothers group had the same prob with her 6 month old DS. She has got him to drink milk (formula) out of a sippy cup - the type without a valve (eg take n toss / tupperware) - so he doesn't have to suck, it justs runs/flows out.

    We used the Heinz basics 4m+ cup for from 4m for exactly the same reason. EBM was only taken out of a cup - bottles were point blank refused!!
