Whether you’re planning on leaving for a few hours, or want some middle-of the night relief, here’s how to encourage your baby to take a bottle.
, like a shirt she wore the day before, for the person to drape over themselves so he or she smells a little more like Mom.Bickford suggests sitting the baby up in your arms and keeping the bottle horizontal to the floor. Touch the bottle nipple to his lips or his chin, and wait for him to open up. “You don’t ever want to force a bottle into a baby’s mouth,” she says. When the bottle nipple is in his mouth, let him suck for about 30 or 60 seconds before tipping some milk into the nipple.
In an ideal world, your baby will happily take to this new way of feeding. But if he doesn’t, now’s the time to change up the nipples, give the bottle at a different time of day or have someone else give it a shot. If your baby wants to take the milk, but doesn’t seem to like the taste, it could be because of leftover soap in the bottle or excessBaby refusing the bottle still?
If you’ve exhausted your troubleshooting options and your baby still refuses the bottle, it’s time to get creative: you could try a straight-sided cup for the baby to lap the milk from, and Mohrbacher has also heard of parents who feed babies breast-milk slushies with a small spoon . Some caregivers swear by bottle-feeding while walking around the house , other have more luck offering the bottle in the same spot the baby usually nurses.
Though Shelly tried many more times, and with a number of different bottles and nipples, Daniela, now 18 months, never did take a bottle. But her four-month-old brother, Paolo, is a bottle-guzzling champ, which comes in handy since De Caria is nursing them both. “My husband gave him his first bottle, and we were so proud. It was a huge relief for me.”
