Tips for getting LO to take a bottle

LO does not want the bottle, what tips do you ladies have? I'd like all this pumping to go somewhere!

Re: Tips for getting LO to take a bottle

  • I've heard that putting the BM on your finger and finger feeding is one way to get expressed milk into a young baby.  Have you checked the nipple (is the flow too fast/too slow?). 
  • Stick with it.  My LO doesn't like the bottle either but DH has been giving her one every day for the past 3 weeks.  She now takes up to two ounces at a time.  That's not great, but better than she was at first when she would choke and refuse it.
