Getting a breastfed baby to take bottle

My 6 month old baby is attached to my breasts for feedings, how do I get my baby to accept a bottle?

Here are some tips to help your breastfed baby take a bottle: - Have someone else give the bottle. - Take your baby to a quiet and non-distracting location. A calm environment can have a big impact on a baby's mind. - Try and give your baby a bottle when he/she is starving so the baby doesn't have the time to think about refusing. - Move around while feeding the baby. - Try different bottles or a pacifier. - Tickle the baby's mouth to encourage an open mouth then bring baby up onto the bottle nipple, aiming the nipple toward the palate."

Burping your baby

How often should I burp my baby during feedings?

After your baby finishes on one side, try burping before switching breasts. Sometimes, the movement alone can be enough to cause a baby to burp. Burp your baby every 2 to 3 ounces (60 to 90 millilitres) when you start bottle-feeding. Some infants need more burping, others less, and it can vary from feeding to feeding. If your baby spits up a lot, try burping more often.

Counting baby's feedings

How do I count the time between feedings and how long should I feed for?

Newborns may nurse for up to 20 minutes or longer on one or both breasts. As babies get older and more skilled at breastfeeding, they may take about 5–10 minutes on each side. Count the length of time between feedings from the time your baby begins to nurse (rather than at the end) to when your little one starts nursing again. In other words, when your doctor asks how often your baby is feeding, you can say ""about every 2 hours"" if your first feeding started at 6 a.m., the next feeding was around 8 a.m., then 10 a.m., and so on.
