Default getting a bfing baby used to bottle

We have won a 5 day cruise, in February, I am pumping extra milk for this. The kids will not be with us, I have to get Cristi used to the bottle for that week. I cant even get her to take a bottle. Not even in her sleep, she feels the bottle nipple and starts screaming. I have used 3-4 different bottles, even went and got Dr brown bottles.
I have to have her taking a bottle, by the time we go!

this is a weird suggestion because of the bottle. BUT a friend of mine had to get one of these because her BF'ing baby would take a bottle and she had to go in for surgery. This is the only one that worked for her

Wow those look really cool!

I've seen something like that at BRU.....

Thats just the nipple but they sell the whole bottle at BRU and they aren't that expensive.

You could also cup feed her. They make slow flow sippy cups for breast feed babies.

Maybe try having someone else give the bottle?
My mom so far is the only person that can give our son a bottle. He won't take a bottle from me. I assume it's because he knows he can get it from the right tap if I'm around.

A friend of mine had luck with that bottle. One Step Ahead has it too. Two of my four went straight to a sippy cup. I'd try introducing a cup, if nothing else works.

Have someone else give your baby the bottle---they can smell you and won't take it otherwise---also, don't be in eye/sound sight....maybe leave for a few hours, around feedings and then have someone else give the bottle. It may take a few refusals but eventually the baby will take it. Good Luck

The breast flow bottles are great, they really really are good bottles. We had those for Tiffany and never had a problem with her going from bottle to me.

we had the same issue.. which is part of the reason izzy started on sippy cups around 5 months.

we used the gerber ones with the really really soft spout. sorry cranky toddler (and mommy) and don't have time to link. but i'll link in the morning!
