EBF 6 month old refusing bottle and only takes if distracted
LO is 6 months and has been nursed the whole time. Tried Dr Browns bottles of expressed milk when a couple weeks old and took it no problem. Got complacent with just nursing and tried bottle feeding around 3-4 months and refused.
We tried multiple times, different nipples and flows and no luck. Around 6 months he finally started taking the bottle BUT has to be distracted. Whether one parent holds a book in front of him while other feeds or the TV is on. 2 people to feed is tough especially with a toddler in the house.
He starts daycare soon so that is why we need to have him take a bottle. Has anyone experienced this and how did you get your LO to take the bottle without the distractions?
We have tried dim room with no stimulation, different positions, sleepy, awake.
