Some babies take to the bottle without any struggle but oftentimes bottle training a breastfed baby can be challenging. Especially if you are bound by time and have to report to the office at a given time. But even if you are not a working mother, it is useful to train your baby so you can do other things without them going hungry or dad can experience the joy of feeding. Follow these tips will help you with the transition.

Get good quality teats - For a baby who is accustomed to the breast, a synthetic teat is alien to the mouth. Get a teat that is very close to the natural feel of the breast as well as one that has a slow flow so that baby is not overwhelmed with gushes of milk. Be careful not to confuse them with different teats and bottles at once.
