What is the best way to wean my 9-month old from the breast to a bottle? |
|
| |
 |
Since sucking at the breast is so completely different from sucking from a bottle, many breast-fed infants who have never drunk from a bottle by about three weeks of age never learn (or are never willing to do so). Many of these babies can be taught to drink from a cup, and we would encourage you to try feeding your little one pumped breast milk or iron-fortified formula from a small cup. We would encourage you to seek further advice from your child's doctor. |
