bottle trouble

[alabama]

hi gals

my DD2 is 3 months old now n beginning to recognise me n the surroundings.

i m going back to work in 3 months time n want to put her on EBM/formula thru a bottle but when try to feed her with a bottle she just pushes it out with her tongue.....any ideas as to how i should go about it?

Also she sleeps with me in my bed at night time.....makes it easier to feed her during the night without breaking my own sleep.....how should i transition her to cot?

What kind of bottle/teat are you using? The tommee tippee closer to nature bottles/teats are very much like the shape of the breast. They are wider and rounder like a boob. Maybe give them a try?

thanks gals

i m just trying to put it in her mouth but before it actually gets it she thrusts it out......

i'll try with different teats

after attending mothers group yesterday and hearing carious discussions, i heard one lady say she tricked her bubs by putting the bottle right next to her boob. i guess the smell of her and the positioning helped :confused:
