Breastfeeding

too late for the bottle?

Has anyone had success introducing the bottle at a little less than 3 months old?

...and when do you introduce sippy cups? 

And if he doesn't take a bottle should I keep pumping anyway to bulid up a freezer stash to eventually use in a sippy cup? 

 

Re: too late for the bottle?

  • My dd has never been good at taking the bottle.  She'll maybe take an ounce if she's really hungry.  She holds out and waits for me to return so she can nurse.  We just introduced the sippy cup last week.  She seems to be getting the hang of it but I have only put water in the cup to practice and she's only had a few sips.  I have a freezer stash of about 50 ounces.  I have a bit of an over supply so it was really easy to build a stash.  I keep it for emergencies.

  • No experience with this myself but when I was a nanny my little boy would wait up to six hours for mom to come home no matter how hard I tried with a bottle he never wanted it.  Did not seem overly bothered either.
