I believe that many breastfeeding mothers have encountered the problem that the baby is unwilling to mouth and cry when the baby quits breastfeeding, so how can the baby better use the bottle?What should I do if my baby resists the bottle?

The baby's reluctance to use the bottle may be due to the fact that he is not used to the taste of the pacifier, or because the size of the nipple suction hole is not appropriate, causing the baby to be choked and leave a psychological shadow.

If the situation allows, it is best to use the bottle for the baby when the baby is almost 1 month old, because the baby is used to being at a fixed time after more than 20 days of birth**, and the mother's milk is already normal at this time. If the intervention time is late, by the time of 3 months, the baby can clearly distinguish between the mother's ** and artificial **, and may refuse to use the bottle.

In addition, when feeding your baby with a bottle, you should choose when your baby is hungry, when your baby is more likely to accept the bottle. You can also try changing the nipple or using a bottle that simulates breast milk.

Secondly, choose when the baby is hungry but has no other physical discomfort, someone else will replace the mother to feed with a bottle, you can put breast milk in the bottle, and smear breast milk on the nipple, these methods can make the baby more receptive to the bottle.
