Moms who breastfeed their childs may want to move on to bottle feeding at some point – for example when returning to employment and or placing there baby in a pre school. Switching over doesn’t necessary spell the end of breast feeding. It is completely possible to blend the two.

When to Begin
There are various approaches to introducing a bottle:
* Best from the start. Some mothers introduce a bottle in the first few weeks. This gets round the problem of childs who are so used to the breast that they’re hesitant to take a bottle at all. Nevertheless, babies can get baffled between the different approaches. This could mean that breastfeeding ends sooner than intended and that the preschooler misses out on the benefits of breast milk.

* After breast feeding is well established. If this technique succeeds, it can be very practical for moms who want to take a little time away from breastfeeding or to use at times of day when there are other pressures. Some mothers continue on for many months in this way, although others discover that breastfeeding starts to tail off.

* A few weeks before 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. Kid's who are well established with breastfeeding may be very averse, but there are approaches to help| (see below).
* Simply changing over with no gradual introduction. This ‘cold turkey’ approach can be distressing for the toddler and for the mother too if the preschooler 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 baby is being fed bottles by a person other than its mother.

REMEMBER:- You can always ask for help from your nursery
If the Baby Refuses a Bottle, It’s not surprising that a breastfed preschooler may be unwilling to take a bottle. They are used to the kind 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 child’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 preschooler associates its mother with the breast, so the idea of a bottle can be better coming from someone else.

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

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