#askdoctors My daughter is 6 months old and she doesnot drink milk with bottle as i have tried different types of bottles also. When it comes to spoon and bowl it gets very tough to make her feed. Please suggest how can i make her drink through bottle.

A. Offer the bottle in the evening after baby's regular feeding to get the baby used to the nipple. Start with a small amount of milk - about half an ounce. Let someone else feed the baby the first bottle. Use a slow flow nipple, keep the bottle horizontal, etc. Do not be in the same room where the baby is being fed from a bottle. Hold the baby a little upright with the head being positioned to be in a straight line with the body. Increase the time between feeding intervals and allow the baby to get a little hungry but not too much hungry and then offer the bottle. Check Babyhug Sterilisable Steel Feeding Bottle : It is made up of stainless steel and is leak proof. It has 2 anti colic nipples - one for medium flow and one slow flow. Made from 100% food grade SS304 stainless steel. It is anti bacterial and non toxic and is also rust free. It is BPA free. It has a wide neck and so easy to clean. It has an extra cap so it can be used as a water bottle as well.
