B.S.
Hey there! I tried 2 bottles, she didn't like the first one and she took the second on right away. It was the breastflow bottle that The First Years makes. It is said to be the closest thing to the breast. I introduced the bottle at 3 weeks, but I nursed everyday and she only took the bottle about once or twice a week. She never refused it, even though she didn't get it on a regular basis. I would pump and use my breastmilk. I never used formula, but from what I understand you should mix some with the breastmilk and gradually increase it until you are all formula.
She never took a pacifier and starting sucking her thumb. I tried numerous times to get her to take a paci, but she never would.
Good Luck!!
