Suggest Ways To Stop Breast Feeding And Start Bottle Feeding
My 2 month old son has been breastfeeding since day one. Recently, we tried bottle-feeding him using pumped breastmilk or formula but as soon as he taste the texture of the nipple he does not want it and start to cry. We need to prepare him for bottle-feeding when my wife returns to work. We have tried different brands of bottle but nithing works. Any suggestion how we can make my son drink from a bottle? Thanks!

hi
thank you for asking question on HCM
for your baby breast milk is best till 6 months of age.
for working mother you can give expressed breast milk to baby with sterile cup and spoon.bottle feeding is not advisable as it can cause many problems to baby like infections , malocclusion of teeth , growth failure due to inadequate supplements needed for baby's growth.
breast milk is most suitable and most physiological for baby.
breast milk contains all necessary nutrients required for optimal development and growth.
so breast milk can be collected and stored in sterile utensil at room temperature for 6 hours or in refrigerator for 24 hours and can be given to baby when needed by cup and spoon.
thank you.
