Starting bottle at 6 months?

[panpan]

hi mummies!!

I need some advice.. as i am returning to work in a few months time, i would have to search for alternative method of feeding my baby.

He's currently 6 months and he is direct bf all the time. I doubt he can manage cup as he is just starting his solids.

So... do i try out the bottle with him? Which type of teats to use?

Or do i try cup feeding instead?

Thank you for all your help!!

Your baby reject bottle? My friends baby reject bottle at 4 months but after my friend went back to work, her bb is too hungry to reject and eventually drink from it. It takes several weeks of heartache hearing baby cry n cry. She wrote to LC at mount Alvernia and they recommend Medela bottle teat.

thank you milkshake. i'll try the medela calma. =)

lyra: nope, i have not tried the bottle with him.. but the way he vomits his milk when he had his Rotavirus vaccine, i suspect he will not take the bottle easily. So i thought of simplifying the process and getting one that it'll be easier on him.
Sigh.. didnt want to start him on the bottle, but it looks like i do not have a choice. I'll get the teats over the weekend and try it on him. thank you!

It depends on you, but for me, its better to transfer first in bottle coz to early to use in a cup..
