Help! Breastfed baby wont take formula any tips?

[hayleylea]

my DD is 3.5 months old and is exclusively breastfed. I always planned on weaning her at around 3 months - problem is she wont take formula! Its not the bottle cause she will take EBM out of the bottle. I really want her weaned by 6 months and was wondering if anyone out there has any tips on getting a baby to take formula when they dont like it (dont blame them really its not that nice of a taste).

Any advice would be appreciated!

Have you tried mixing some EBM in with the formula? You may also want to try different types of formula.

I was just about to suggest the same thing :yes:

Are you trying to feed her the bottles? It's best to have someone else do it and not even be in the room.

My bub was the same. I introduced her to little bits of solids each night for about 2 weeks (different veggies not a lot) then tried her on formula again one night about the same time (making sure she was due for a feed) and she started taking it. I think it worked because of the different tastes she had experienced.

I know being 3 1/2 months may be a bit early to introduce solids, but it's just a suggestion.

Good luck!
