Sending our 7 month old to daycare in a few weeks when my paternity leave ends. How do we get him to bottle feed again? Wife works from home so it’s been mostly nursing. Refuses bottle every time :(

Sorry to hear. This is what the nurse and lactation consultant warned my wife and I that if we don’t bottle feed continuously, the kid will refuse. Note I don’t have experience with this scenario.
2 things come to mind - 1) while kid is breast feeding, alternate between bottle and breast. May not work. 2) sometimes it’s the moms smell that triggers the baby to drink. Did your wife try to bottle feed while maintaining skin to skin?

I agree to find a lactation specialist to help. For our first, the transition was brutal. Felt like we were starving her! The second we mixed in bottle feeding from the get go so it would t be so hard. Sorry. To me it sounds like your in for a rough transition

Thanks A1. Tried 1 no luck. 2 sounds like a good idea which we can try

Make sure your bottle nipple flow is correct, I accidentally put the wrong one in yesterday and then I had a very upset baby

My advice is bit brutal. My 8 mo didn't take bottle so I kept him hungry one two time and only offered bottle. He has been good since then.

😂 way to go. I would do the same thing, but my wife will kill me.

Try to offer with your wife out of the house. Kids aren’t dumb- if the good stuff is around and they smell Mom, they will wait for it and ignore the bottle.
