How I Trained My Breastfed Baby to Accept a Bottle at 4 months ? | PlantPowerBaby 

I just love all your tips with example of your experience. Full of honesty, love it! There was no empty tips with no explanation behind. Excited to try again with your tips onboard. Hopefully successful this time round!

The best video I’ve watched on this hands down. Very informative.

I watched a lot learning videos about this yesterday, for I was too worried about my baby since I will go back to work this april. And I chose to follow yours! Thank you! It did work on my baby!

Thank you for this!!! I was also angered by the advice of "she won't starve herself." Huh?? Actually she kinda did sadly. See my milk has taken a drastic downfall due to pregnancy, and no herbs or lactation cookies will help! My poor 6 month old baby just sucks away even tho not much coming out :( but when I was seeing dry pampers I panicked! She outright refused formula for 2 weeks and also had bad reaction at first. So while I'm watching your video I just had a formula break-thru! She drank 25 ml out of a dropper! And at first I was sad cause it's still so little but that's when you were saying to be patient and build up, if only from 10-20 ml! Thank you. This is the most helpful advice I've encountered so far

Hi! Your tip on switching up baby’s feeding position worked for us! We prop her up on some pillows and she was able to take the bottle and drink ~2 oz. We still have a long way to go before she can comfortably bottlefeed for a full feed, but hey, it’s progress!! Thank you for the suggestion :)

I don’t believe in nipple confusion! With my first daughter I was told by midwifes to not introduce a bottle before 12 weeks as she will not take the breast ! So I was paranoid and listened to them! At 12 weeks I decided to give a bottle and omg she wouldn’t not take it ! I spent ridiculous amount of money on different bottles and teats defiantly in the hundreds !! And I gave up I even tried every single trick in the book and nothing ! I ended up breastfeeding my baby until she was 15 months ! I Could not do anything .. she couldn’t stay with anyone for longer than 2 hours ! It was terrible .. I once got admitted to the hospital luckily she was 5 months old and she was eating solids at that point ! I was away for 2 days! And she couldn’t be breastfed as I was in strong medications! I felt guilty because was not getting any milk! I now have a 4 week old !! She is both breastfed and bottle fed ! I exclusively pump from the day she was born !!! And she has breastmilk in the bottle and breastfed at night !! She did not have trouble latching on to either bottle or my breast! She can switch really easily ! I think it’s the midwifes and doctors just making new mums paranoid! If you get the baby on the bottle and the breast from day one ! Then there will not be no such a thing as refusing the bottle or the breast because she or he get used to whatever it is put in their mouth ! Now she can be left with anyone and I can leave without worrying

Such a helpful video!!! I could have written the script about the Tommee Tippee bottles!! EXACT same thing with my 5 month old daughter! By EBF son took to them no issue so presumed it would be the same for the little lady!! Same as you, I bought them because they are so popular and in every shop! I also tried the Medela bottles which I had used for expressed milk and no joy. Both these bottles teats are very circular and hard silicone....a few people on a baby forum recommended the MAM bottles so I tried them...I sat her on my knee facing outward watching baby TV, slightly leaning back into the couch. She wasn't hungry so no pressure. put the bottle in front of her...she grabbed it herself with me supporting it and put it in her mouth and started sucking away....the teat size was for 4month plus....not sure of the number....so100% agree with everything in this video. this was after several days of her fully rejecting the bottle. Best of luck anyone going through this because it is tough but stick with it

This is the most helpful advice! Thank you!!

This is amazing advice I am having my 4th baby and I have breastfed all of mine and also used mam bottles and pacifiers they are absolutely the best and I love them. They definitely were the best option for me. This mom has amazing advice!

This is the most helpful video that I’ve seen

The advise of giving the bottle to intro to baby is what im looking for! Thank u!

YOUR BABY IS PRECIOUS, SHE IS PERFECT.

You are a godsend! I weaned my baby from the bottle by mistake! She took the bottle and the boob right out of the NICU and then started to hate the bottle after exclusively getting the boob. After a few days of trying and getting the same bottle as you, she guzzled a whole ounce today! Took her forever and a day to drink less than a quarter ounce last week! Thank you so much!! Now I have less anxiety about leaving her with someone else. My daughter’s 3 months old.

Success! I followed you advice! I tried several bottles and nipple flows, and never gave up! Took several weeks to a month 3x a day but now my baby successfully transitioned from breast to bottle! She was 6/7 months when I started and now 8 months. The bottle she ended up liking was the Haakaa.

We have a very similar case. Heavy let down, bottle refusal from the beginning etc and your experience helped me a lot to do different ways specially on nipple choice.hope they work for me and my baby who is 2 month old. Thank you and thumbs up!

This baby just made me smile

this was beyond helpful thank you so much 😭

Your baby is reallllllly cute!

YOU ARE A GENIUS!

So helpful wil try for sure . I had given up but after seeing ur video i shall surely try all ways like how u explained.

Wow... U have got really very cute baby.... 😘😘😘😘😘

I’m having problem with my 2 months baby and I have to go back to work very soon … didn’t try your advise yet but sound good I’ll let you know in a month if everything work as you told ❤️ thanks for the tips

This one is helpful. Thanks !

😂🤣I dont have babe. But still watching it

Super cute baby 😍

Very helpful!! ✨

what a cutie!!!

Hey thanks a ton for the tip of giving the bottle to play. It worked for me in one day. My baby wasn't accepting bottle at all n I was so worried as I went to work. But alhamdulillah ( Thanks be to Allah) with your tip today she drank 20 ml 😊

My two week old daughter is breastfeeding and I pump and she takes a a bottle as well very easily. She knows the difference. They are smarter than people think at such a young age. The longer you wait until you bottle feed. The will not want to take it because they have for a long time been use to one thing.

I am a nanny to a 3 month old that has only ever had the breast. Mom tried different bottles last week before she went back to work yesterday with no success. I am having a very difficult time getting the baby to accept the bottle. She is crying the whole time and not getting anything that doesn’t just drop into her mouth. Yesterday I had to set her down after about three hours of trying on and off with no luck. She cried for about 30-40 minutes and once she wore herself out I decided to try once more. She sucked for about 5 seconds which I was grateful for. Today it’s like starting all over again. The only option for her is the bottle. I’m hoping she will catch on soon. It’s so frustrating.

Shes is a beautiful baby💯🍼🍼🍼👶🏻👶🏻👶🏻💖💖❤❤

Oh my God all your tips r wonderful Can't wait to do them!

Can I just say thank you as I wanted to cry with frustration This morning but finding this video now you have given me hope! I just need to be more patient trying to get my 4 m.o baby girl Onto a bottle.

Ciao che bella bambina carina anche la sua famiglia e bella carina come la bambina ciao tutti

My baby is 1 month + and already refuses the bottle. Will try these tips and hopefully it works before I go back to work next month. Wish me luck!

I just want to ask while bottle feeding if baby do not take bottle then should I give breast milk or I should try again and again.

I have a whole lot of tommee tippee unused bottles too! 😂

i learned more.thank you for the tips

thank you so much. my baby is 3 months and i was losing hope!

MAM is also my favriote!!

Ciao grazie anche avoi famiglia che avete una bella bambina carina ciao tutti

My baby is the same, she finally took the MAM bottles with either my mom and husband feeding her, but she's still not getting a full feed. We have been trying for 3 days now, it's getting better. I just hope she's able to make up the required calories thru her night feeds 😢

Very good,useful vedio.

I am going to try your recommendation. We have been trying but no success. I am working from home but when I get busy with deadlines, it can take a lot of time since my baby is a rester. And now she likes to talk and play while feeding her.

So when your baby only drinks a tiny bit from bottle do you then follow up with breastfeeding to finish off?

Mine is 1 years old and won't take the bottle. She sips bit of milk from a cup but not a proper feed Will these tips work for a 1 year old baby too?

Do you have to be in a different room so the baby won’t smell their mom ?

I wana say big thanks to u.your tips is really work in my case.

Finally found video that I want to try. May I know how about at night time u feed her with bottle or breastfeeding?

awesome advice thank you!!

I am so glad i found your video. i’ve been trying for the past few days to get my 5 month old twins to drink my EBM from a bottle. i started with the avent natural teat and then also the tommee tippee. i’ve had the exact thoughts as you. i’ve bought some Minbie bottles i’m going to try next. although my bigger twin girl did take 40 ml from the tommee tippee bottle the other day and last night she took 20ml. my smaller twin is having none of it though. it’s so hard when there’s two and they are so different. i fee like i have double the work to figure out what they will accept. thanks so much for your advice.

My baby is all ready six months. His mom try him to drink milk in the bottle but he refuse it.

It works with my 6mos boy. Tqqqqq

Your baby is do damn adorable! I could eat her up, munchkin 😘❤

Am trying my 2 months baby I hope it will b helpful

Can we do it once everyday?

Everything you expressed it was the same. I was scared because i was told the same thing. Going back to work he is 2 months and hates the bottle.

I am struggling 😫 his 2months old and doesn't want the bottle

Thank you I have a 4 month old baby girl I wont give up Back to your video many times and update you with my results 🤞🏼

It's ok up till the time the baby's demand is a couple of minutes to breast and u r at home. The minute it's demand increases and you have to go to work just a few ounces of squeezed breast milk is not enough. Then there is no option but to bottle feed the baby or sacrifice his nutrients

She’s so cute!! 🥰 I’ve tried giving my daughter an empty bottle to play with as well. She’s still not having it, but I’m gonna work on having someone else try feeding her other than myself.

what a positive helpful video! Thank you! My worry is I feed on demand so I don't really know when to try and offer the bottle because she's often not hungry because she feeds so frequently and little amounts, every hour pretty much. She also uses my nipple for comfort so then when the milk just comes out shell drink it. Did you have a breastfeeding routine before bottle or were you on demand? X

Yes they tell you not to but you really should if you want your baby to take a bottle! Be consistent because I didn’t for like a week and now she doesn’t want a bottle 😭😭😭

MAM is also my favriote!!! 🍼

So I go back to work at the end of this month and I wanted to transition my son like two weeks before going to work to drinking breast milk from the bottle . I see that it was said to breastfeed during the night and bottle during the day . But as of pumping I can pump at work but when I come home for the day do I need to pump then too and just freeze my milk?

I want to try it... I think thats helpful.. Today ive been being bad to my baby bcoz i let her get hungry just to feed in the bottle.. I feel very bad.. And shes so stressed.. And ok i will take it easy starting tomorrow.. Thanks

A problem is I’m single the only person my baby knows is lactating so it gets him frustrated

How to train my baby 2 month rejected bottle.and now he only drank 1oz.then anither minutes i gave 1oz.i gave him formula.but i did pump my breasmilk.i need help.should i give formula and night at 6pm i gave boobies.im afraid if i work i cnt pump.and my baby rejected formula..

My baby is 6 month today was her first day taking formula gosh! Her face reaction is something else

. Thankyou for this video! The “she won’t starve herself- let her cry” method was not working! Lol so we are also allowing her to play with the bottle and introducing it to her while she’s in a happy mood! So far it’s day 3 and she’s drinking less than an ounce but it’s better than no ounces at all!

This is my by far the best advice i received! I feel so sad letting him hungry for hours, people said it will work but it didnt for us! Did you also try to sneak in bottle while you direct feeding her? I did that, and sometimes i worked. But it also ended with me giving a boobie back bcs he only drank a little. But now im scared my baby is so used to me giving him boobie afterwards he will think thats what he’s getting if he rejects the bottle. I will start working in 2 weeks and i am desperate! 😭 this gives me tears

So were u still breastfeeding while doing these try outs and looking for bottles?

I can't even get my son to try to latch the bottle! Help!

You have your baby cows milk

I wish she can lower the background nusic while filming and speak slowly thanks

How many times a day did yu try to feed her bottle

Im currently trying to train my 2 month old on the bottle. I go back to work in January. She is not accepting at all. I'm most definitely going to use your tips. I need this to work.

Did she start sucking on the bottle right away?? We’re on day 4 and she’s just playing with the bottle in her mouth, she isn’t sucking on it :/. Is this normal? When did your start actually drinking

Tommie tippie is to big I agree

When you say do it every day do you mean one bottle a day or bottle feed all day?

Gotta try this. Mine is 4.5 months and completely rejecting the bottle currently.

I just wanted to say thank you so much my baby 4.5 months old can drink happily right away from the MAM bottle recommended. Just amazing!!!

One day. No "weening". Cold turkey. Don't give in.

Breast fed babies should only have 1-1.5oz of breast milk per hour.

When the baby gets hungry enough it will take the bottle. If you do what so many do and jump and turn flips and give them what they want as soon as they make a sound, they will never learn...you are creating monsters.

10 minute video first 2 minutes nothing useful at all...

I would like to watch this but the yelling is obnoxious. Pass
