SKIP BOTTLES?

jmack210 · February 2015

My bby girl is almost 7mts (on the 15th) anyways

I breastfeed her & I want to transition to formula but she doesn't like the bottles I have..I have playtex drop ins with Natural latch & Medela (Note: one day I did successfully give her formula in the Medela bottle..but it took awhile) 4oz to be exact..can we skip the bottle and go to a sippy cup?..I just tried the playtex again tonight and she fussed and screamed bloody murder lol [-( I ended up giving her my boob after that :-/

Go for it. Try a Nuk soft top sippy cup. See if she can master the bite & suck. Sippy cups do require some trial & error. You can always syringe or spoon & cup the formula.

I know DS was picky about nipples on bottles but was thrilled to drink formula or breast milk through a straw.

Give it a shot & see what works.

Perhaps the nipple flow is too slow? Too fast?

I think it might have been too slow.. I'm going to start trying again. I just got the Kiinde system from a giveaway..she might take on to it better..it's supposed to be breastfeeding friendly

You can definitely skip the bottle and go straight to a sippy. A lot of babies are transitioning to sippies around 6-7 months.
