Question

My daughter is 5mnths old and is breastfed but wont take a bottle, any ideas on how to get her to take one?

Answer 1

why eat c**p when she can have the best

good luck

Answer 2

Wait until she starts getting teeth and then teach her to drink from a sippie cup.She can be breastfed the first yr.

Then maybe if she saw YOU drinking from a bottle she might want to try it?

Answer 3

Try a sippy cup.  My son never had a bottle at all.  Put something in it that she will like - a little diluted fruit juice, for example, and see how that goes.

Answer 4

She's too young for juice. Make sure it's not your wife/GF/partner who is trying to give her the bottle as babies sometimes won't take a bottle when they can smell their mommy. I would even get her to leave the room. Just keep trying and good luck!

Answer 5

They do have bottle nipples that are shaped like a womans nipple - she might take that better.

Answer 6

there are several differant types of bottles with differant nipples try differant ones.. and sooner or later she will be hungry enough to want to just take anything put in her mouth.. GOOD LUCK
