Mothers who breastfeed their babies may want to move on to bottle feeding at some point – for example when returning to work and or placing there infant in a pre school. Changing doesn’t necessary spell the end of breast feeding. It is perfectly possible to blend the two.
When to Initiate

There are a number of approaches to introducing a bottle:
* Best from the begin. Some mothers introduce a bottle in the first couple of weeks. This gets round the problem of kid's who are so used to the breast that they’re hesitant to take a bottle at all. Nevertheless, childs can get puzzled between the separate approaches. This could mean that breastfeeding ends sooner than planned and that the infant misses out on the benefits of breast milk.
* After breast feeding is well established. If this way succeeds, it can be very practical for mothers who want to take a little time away from breastfeeding or to use at times of day when there are other pressures. Some moms carry on for many months in this way, although others discover that breastfeeding starts to tail off.

* A few weeks prior to the ‘changeover’. In this gentle approach, breastfeeds are steadily changed by bottle feeds – starting with one a day for a while, then two, and so on. Children's who are well established with breastfeeding may be very unwilling, but there are methods to help| (see below).

* Only swapping over with no gradual introduction. This ‘cold turkey’ approach can be upsetting for the kid and for the mother too if the child becomes distressed. But sooner or later they will be hungry enough to feed. This is not for everyone, but it can work especially if the toddler is being fed bottles by a person other than its mother.

REMEMBER:- You can always ask for advice from your day nurseries
If the Infant Refuses a Bottle, It’s not surprising that a breastfed child may be unwilling to take a bottle. They are used to the tender comfort of their mother’s breast and the distinctive taste of her milk. A little perseverance may be needed:

* Try putting breast milk in the bottle. The familiar taste may be enough to overcome the toddler’s reluctance. If this seems to work, try expressing milk with a pump and then store it in the fridge. Breast milk also freezes well.

* Get someone else to give the bottle. The child associates its mother with the breast, so the idea of a bottle can be better coming from someone else.

* Don’t make the error of thinking the baby needs to be really hungry. A infant who is crying for the breast may be anxious and upset when a bottle appears instead.

* Choose a time when both mother and kid are relaxed. In the morning or after the kid’s afternoon sleep might be good, when he or she is bright and not searching for the comfort of the breast.
