how to make a 6 m.o. drink b/milk from a bottle?

[@llli*mamo4ka]

Hi there,

I recently went back to work and my 6 months old daughter stays with a nanny. The DD does not like to drink breast milk from a bottle (which has the form of breast and is supposed to be a better first bottle) or from a transitional sippy cup (which is somewhere in between a bottle and a true sippy cup, also seems to be a good choice for a baby at this stage).

We just introduced solids and the nanny gives them to DD 3 times a day. She tries to add breast milk to solids but you can't really add much as it makes the food runny.

So all in all the baby barely gets 2 oz of b/milk during the day, in the 8-9 hour period while I am away, and she is not nursing more than she used to when she is with me.

Should I be concerned about her intake of breast milk?
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to make her drink more?

Thanks!!!

Do you co-sleep? Co-sleeping might encourage more night nursing

Hereès a link from kellymom:

If you look down the bottom of the article, there are links on how to get a baby to accept a bottle.

One tip Ive heard of is to walk around carrying the baby facing out while offering the bottle. Best if someone other than the mom does it.
