Mom of a 4 yr 2 m old girl3 years ago

Q.

#AskTheExpert I have a 4 months old daughter who is on complete breastfeeding. Now when i am trying to introduce her to formula , she is not taking that at all. Any suggestions, to make her start having formula? I want to introduce formula only partially, so that if my breastmilk is not enough she wont be hungry.

A. Sometimes breastfed babies refuse to take a bottle from Mom because they know she has something better. ... Try switching to a nipple for babies 6 months and up. If, after trying everything, your baby still refuses to take a bottle from anyone, then don't try to force ur baby Take the bottle away and offer it again every half-hour until she eats. Babies can be stubborn and she may hold out for an hour or more, but once she gets hungry, she'll take her bottle someone has to feed your baby in the Lonely place check the flow of the nipple
