Comments on: Convincing Baby the Bottle is Way Cool, too. http://www.wcmessenger.com/blogs/mom/?p=460 The Day-to-Day Ramblings of Smalltown Life from a Smalltown Mom Thu, 16 May 2013 02:48:09 +0000 hourly 1 By: Anna http://www.wcmessenger.com/blogs/mom/?p=460&cpage=1#comment-931 Anna Wed, 25 Nov 2009 05:12:09 +0000 http://www.wcmessenger.com/blogs/mom/?p=460#comment-931 I breast fed my baby from day 1, but she was also introduced to the bottle from day 1 too. My opinion, its best to introduce baby to one bottle each day. Then you can increase the bottle feedings as you get closer to a complete stop.

She used a plain nipple at first, then I tried her on others.

Dads and siblings can help with the bottle feedings to give baby and mom time away from each other. Then mommy can jump in and share the bottle feeding adventures.

Hopefully, this is helpful advice.

Reject rest”) Ouch. Dad is doing all the bottle feeding so it’s not me making the attempts but even though I’m not in the house at all she’d prefer to wait for me.

The baby is used to nursing when mom is doing the feeding, so it’s a little more difficult to take a bottle from mom.
