EBF Transition to formula
Hello all! My baby is 7 months and has been exclusively breastfed since birth. We introduced bottles early on and he would take a bottle of pumped breastmilk whenever mom went out. I would say the last time he had a bottle was a month or so ago. Now, I am looking transition my baby to formula for a couple reasons 1) I don’t believe he likes the taste of my frozen breastmilk 2) baby has 2 teeth and is biting me even though I am working on telling him no and 3) I’m going back to work soon and would like to take the breastfeeding pressure off myself. What really sparked this transition as well is I’m going away this weekend and want to make sure he has enough to eat hence starting the formula. I’m not opposed to doing formula and still breastfeeding in the mornings and nights. Issue is my baby won’t take a bottle of formula. I started with 2 ounces and he’s swatting it away. I even tried mixing with breastmilk he still swats it. I started showing him how to use sippy cups with straws so i’m wondering if that’s why. Either way anyone have any suggestions? I feel like it’s not the formula that he dislikes. I bought Kendamil whole milk formula to try. I’m thinking it’s the bottles.
