Default HELP! 9mo doesn't like formula

As Ryan said the baby has not been happy about formula since she was 5
months old, and now is 9 months old, so maybe breastfeeding stopped a while
ago?

Still this is a breastfeeding group.....

I guess I posted it in the wrong group (I did post to other groups). I
should have posted early when my wife still could pump. Now is too
late, the breastfeeding has stopped for months. My wife is employed
and may be because of her busy schedule or some other reason, her
breast milk was not enough. That's when we started the switch. It was
a very smooth transition for my son. Never anticipated the problem.
Thanks for your help anyway…

Hi Ryan,

Don't worry too much. Your wife was breastfeeding before, and I am sure
there have been many moms that have posted here over the years that have
switched to formula from the breast for many reasons.
I would be tempted to get your little one to drink from a cup, (one that
doesn't leak when you tip it up) they also come with soft spouts. Whenever I
have switched a baby from breast to bottle it has always been difficult.
It's a change in routine, and babies like the breast. I also have ended up
having hassle getting the baby off the bottle once he/she needed to go onto
a cup, so I will be putting my son on a cup soon to try and avoid the
problem.
My little one has formula now and again, but is mainly BF.

I hope it all works out for you.
