| How do I teach my baby to drink from a bottle?
I have an 8 1/2 month old baby and I'm trying to get her off the breast. By the time she was 2 months old she was drinking from the bottle with no problem, however my breast pump broke so for the next 6 months I didn't give her any bottles. Now she would drink from the breast and eat puree foods, but after I stop giving her the breast she didn't want to eat anymore. I'm trying to get her on a feeding schedule where she drinks Cereal and formula in a bottle 3 times day plus puree foods, but she doesn't drink the bottle anymore. She doesn't even suck on pacifiers anymore. What should I do? I've been giving her gripe water and mint tea for gas. I really need her to drink from a bottle again because I will be going back to work soon.
