How to Introduce a Baby Bottle
By Amalah
I am currently breastfeeding my almost 4 week old son and I am very interested in getting him to take a bottle. A side note–I have a 2 year old daughter who NEVER took a bottle. I breastfed her for 13 months, exclusively. At the time it wasn’t a big deal and I wasn’t that bothered by it. But now…I NEED this little boy to take a bottle.
