bottle feeding

[SabraLeane]

My son is 3 months old. My husband and I will be going out of town in the end of september. He refuses to take a bottle. I pump, and have my husband try rhe bottle with Eli but he refuses it from him too. Do you have any ideas to help use with bottle feeding. I want to make it as easy of a transition as possible.

First you will have to be out of the house while your husband tries.
Have your husband avoid holding him in a nursing position. Have baby sit up and away from him.
Try warming the nipple before offering the milk.
Try different nipples.
Have your husband use something that smells like you to throw over his shoulder. ie t-shirt you might have worn the day before.
Then have who ever will be watching him, while you and your husband are gone, try to give him a bottle a few days before you will leave.
