post about giving 4m infant a bottle?

Dear nesties,

One of you can help me, I'm sure. I'm looking for the post about giving an older "new" infant a boobjuice bottle. I'm up a creek.

This bebe ain't takin' and I have an opportunity to see NKOTBSB AAAAAANDDDDDD hottie hottie boom balloty Matthew Morrison next week. But when I went to see nkotbsb in Chicago a while ago, it was a disaster for the girl watching my kids. I've tried Breastflow and the Nuby sippies.

Help. NKOTBSB and Matthew Morrison vs. hungry baby.

Priorities,

She ended up trying like 5 different bottles and he hated all of them. Her MIL ended up feeding him with a spoon!! It was a PITA, but it worked :-)

Good luck!

Dear BH282093842038420342,

Yep, that's it. Thanks

(also, too-lazy-to-edit-to-add: I've also tried Avent and Mam bottles)

Boobtube,

I'll throw in one more idea that bh's post reminded me of. Along the lines of the spoon, I've read the suggestion to try a small open cup and let the baby sort of lap it out of the cup. (Yes, I realize I've just suggested feeding your baby like a cat, but apparently, it can work for some babies.)

When to my first LLL meeting last night and they were talking about giving milk via specialized droppers (similar to what you would give liquid meds with), spoon or even a cup (as mentioned by PP). It would probably be a pain in the butt to do this but, if it works, it might solve your problem temporarily.

we tried a ton of bottles including the breast flow, which only fustrated him more. We ended up using the platex drop ins w/ the soft brown nipples. haven't looked back since. good luck! he didn't have his first bottle til 16 weeks when i went back to work.

for us, the secret was making sure the bottle was warmed up enough (it took us at least 2 times in the bottle warmer for it to be warm enough).

Kind of along the same lines you could use the infant soft feeder. It's sort of a bowl shaped bottle used for babies with feeding difficulties. Medela makes them and you can buy it through amazon.

Yep, Playtex drop-ins worked for us, too. But my little nut job wanted them room temp at most. He really preferred his bottles chilly.
