What to do if the baby doesn't eat the bottle

　　1. Be mentally prepared

　　(1) Babies raised on breastfeeding are usually resistant to bottles. This is because babies who grow up on breastfeeding are more familiar with the touch of their mother's nipples, and also rely on the breath emanating from their mothers. The baby must be very unaccustomed to suddenly let the baby eat a bottle. If you want your baby to get used to it as soon as possible, mothers need to be patient and cultivate it step by step, but it is unavoidable to cry and starve in the process.

　　(2) It is a relatively long process to cultivate a baby's habit of eating a bottle. Mothers need to take it step by step and do not act too hastily. Corresponding measures should be taken according to the specific situation of the baby.

　　2. Choose the right time to breastfeed

　　(1) When hungry: Babies generally do not resist the bottle when they are hungry. It should be noted that do not let the baby eat for 2-3 hours or more before feeding, and use the bottle to feed when the child is hungry.

　　(2) When you want to sleep: If the baby is more sensitive to the touch of the pacifier, the mother can choose to change the feeding method at this time. The timing should be grasped, and it is recommended to switch from breastfeeding to bottle feeding after the baby is sleepy.

　　(3) When you are happy: Before breastfeeding, use the baby, kiss and other methods to make the baby happy. When bottle-feeding your baby, try to avoid times when your baby is unhappy or unwell.

　　3. Pacifiers are critical

　　(1) It is best to choose a soft-touch nipple, and the shape of the nipple should be similar to the nipple.

　　(2) Before using the pacifier, wash it with warm water to make the pacifier soft. It is best to make the temperature similar to that of the mother's nipple.

　　(3) In order to let the baby get used to bottle feeding as soon as possible, mothers can apply breast milk on the nipple before using the bottle, and then feed the baby later. This is a smart way to get your baby to fall in love with the bottle quickly.

　　4. Feeding position

　　(1) Under normal circumstances, mothers sit and feed. One of the mother's hand is used to hold the baby, so that the baby's upper body is leaning on her elbow, while the mother's arm supports the baby's buttocks, so that the body is inclined at about 45 degrees to the ground; the other hand is used for Holding the bottle, the bottle needs to be kept at a suitable distance from the baby to ensure that the baby can feel the presence of the bottle to actively express the milk and can easily draw the milk.

　　(2) When feeding with a bottle, place the bottle in a suitable position to ensure that the baby's tongue will not be pressed, so that the baby can easily suck the milk. The angle of the bottle is best kept at a 45-degree angle to the ground.
