Hello, I EBF my 4 month old LG and she is great at nursing! The issue is with her taking a bottle. I have a few events coming up this summer where I cannot take her with me and she will need to take a bottle. I’ve been trying slowly the last week introducing a bottle, I use Commotommo and NUK. She just turns her head or pushes the nipple out with her tongue. Sometimes she even screams and pushes the bottle away. Please help! Is 4 months too late to introduce a bottle??

    Not sure if you’re still needing the advice, but I EBF my son for around 7 months and then supplemented with formula until 9 months then went to all formula. I am a stay at home mom, so he rarely had a bottle before I started giving him formula. I finally found lansinoh bottles that he has done really well with. They are the closest to breast in my opinion. The nipple is a very soft material and not huge like other bottles are. I purchased them from Amazon.
