Here are some tips to help your breastfed baby take a bottle: - Have someone else give the bottle. - Take your baby to a quiet and non-distracting location. A calm environment can have a big impact on a baby's mind. - Try and give your baby a bottle when he/she is starving so the baby doesn't have the time to think about refusing. - Move around while feeding the baby. - Try different bottles or a pacifier. - Tickle the baby's mouth to encourage an open mouth then bring baby up onto the bottle nipple, aiming the nipple toward the palate."
