Bottle transition
Does anyone have an exclusively breastfed baby, who is a complete bottle refuser, who’s been able to easily transition to a sippy cup around 4m old??
We have tried introducing a bottle for over 4 weeks now, and baby is completely not taking to it. I am looking at possibly doing some KIT days when she turns 4months old, and would love to not have to drive back and forth every 2-3hours to breastfeed. Would it be an easier transition to a sippy cup at that age, from which she can have the milk as well? Or would it be the case of her refusing that as well?

My son completely refused all bottles. We recently tried him on lansinoh and he took then! He just played with them and chewed for a bit at first but latched properly after a couple of mins
I have tried her on Lansinoh, mam, nuk and she completely refuses them. She takes maybe 2 gulps out of a tommee tippee bottle, but then she just gets so upset and becomes inconsolable unless she’s back on the boob.
Is it expressed breast milk in the bottle?
@Emily yes, i have also tried feeding of one side, then giving bottle, and that doesn’t work either

Were in the same situation and unfortunately I have no solutions but am sending support!! We are planning to try with Lansinoh bottles again and let her play with them before feeding to get her familiar. If that doesn’t work still, we have cup-fed slowly but it made her quite gassy.. Anyway, sending support!!
