breast to formula/bottle.. help please!
im trying to switch Ryleigh from my breast to formula but she is being stubborn and doesnt want it half the time. she only takes the liquid kind when she actually takes the formula. ive tried the powder but she absolutely hates it. I tried mixing my breast milk in with it but it didnt work. ive got alot of different bottle thinking it was that but I dont believe its the bottle. so my question is how can I get her completely on the bottle?
if u have time @homebirthadvocate can u help me out if u know any tricks?

@jcmommy thanks yea it warm, she wont take it unless its very warm. the bottles that I have all have soft nipples and ive got a few of them thats suppose to help switching from breast to bottle.. I just duno what else to do
@babynumber02 she wont take the liquid all the time either. she will take it maybe two times a day but she wants my boob instead. I would like her to take the powder but at this point id b happy if she'd take the liquid instead of my boob
@ta2edblondie because my milk is hurting her belly. when she actually takes the bottle she is more comfortable and sleeps better.
@homebirthadvocate ill try giving her my milk in a bottle. I dont have help all the time so I cant do that ive tried different formulas but the liquid similiac is all she'll take when she actually takes it.. the last two times she has took the bottle she will drink half of it and than stop. I warm the bottle up again thinking maybe its gotten to cold but doesnt help.. she sleeps better and isnt fussy when she take the bottle.. I just duno what to do anymore.
@mybabyuno thanks.. ive thought about that to but when she takes only half the bottle she isnt full, she will get on my boob and go to town. so oz that she is eating isnt filling her up.
@rockinmomma thanks, I hope so also..
im starting to wish I never breastfed in the first place now.. I just wana scream along with her
