Trying to get him used to the bottle

[tippytoes]

Hey Dolly
Thanks for your reply. I am happy to say DS took bottle tonight about 120mls, from me.
Also, yes all breast milk, I'm expressing in the morning as DS seems to be sleeping the entire night lately leaving me with ROCKmelons when I wake up

Distraction - I sometimes found she fed better if there was something to watch - the dogs, out the window, TV, whatever.

Interestingly DS had his eyes glued to the tv for part of the feed!

it was that it wasn't a boob!

My DS is so funny when he is feeding he holds my boob like it is his most prized possesion and must never let it go again!

Anyway I think we'll get there I must get DH and my mum to try too (as she will be looking after him while I am at work!). Should be okay though I think....

Thanks again Rach xx

It took me 3 months of trying every day with the bottle before DS2 would take it properly. All I can suggest is to persevere and it will happen eventually, whether that be cup,bottle or sippy cup. As long as you are patient and don't force it, it will work eventually.

Good Luck.
