Hi, Need a bit of feeding advice. My DS is 5mths and has been exclusively bf. I am due to go back to work in Feb so thought we'd better try giving him milk from a bottle or beaker.
He won't take ebm or formula from the bottle (will drink water though). DH has tried feeding, have tried different brands of formula and different bottles but to no avail. He just screams very loudly
Have tried water in the Avent Magic cup and he happily bites at the spout but doesn't seem to get much out.
My thinking is it is better to avoid the bottle and go straight to the beaker/cup so we don't have to go through the same thing again in a couple of months.
Any advice on which strategy to take to introduce formula and which cup beaker works best? Thanks in advance.
BTW - he is on solids and taken to them very well
