The number one thing is do NOT get nervous or upset when you feed because if the baby senses this it may keep it from eating. Be patient she will take the formula, its just an adjustment of taste.

I have breastfed my baby since she was born, occasionally I did with formula. But, now I am taking my anti-anxiety pill and I can no longer breastfed. I gave her the bottle with formula and she won't take it, what do I do? Did you start the pills already? It would have been good to have pumped some milk into bottles before you did. That would encourage the baby to drink from the bottle more easily. Then you could eventually make the drink 1/2 mama and 1/2 formula and decrease until she gets used to the different flavor. The baby is used to having steak and now she doesn't want the hamburger. lol You're from St. Louis. There are places to call for advice. My mom used to work for HDC - Human Development Agency. They have the WIC program and there are lactation consultants to talk to at WIC. I'm with Winx on callin WIC an askin for the LC. OR ask to speak with a Brestfeedin Peer Counselor  If ur a WIC client the LC will actually do a home visit if needed. Very good advice! Here is a bit more from someone who has worked as a Maternal/Child Health Nurse. Switch to a Playtex nurser as well as one of their brand/style pacifiers. This will help the baby get use to sucking on the different shape. If your baby doesn't like the formula you are using try switching brands or consider goat's milk. You might also consider trying some herbal treatments for yourself that are safe with breastfeeding. Consult a certified herbalist in your area,or check back with your OB-GYN to see if they have a midwife who can help you with this. Many of them are schooled in herbals. Definitely call on WIC,local VNA to see if they have a well child clinic and or a lactation consultant. Above all else,STAY CALM! Get comfy,snuggle,sing to your baby,what ever is comforting and relaxing for the both of you and then introduce the bottle. Good luck to you and remember to be good to yourself at this time too! :) |
