Munchkin weighted straw cup and use the technique of putting a little liquid in the straw and then putting the end in his mouth. If that doesn't work, look up the Honey Bear teaching cup.

So I’m definitely on top of this, to the folks who helpfully say I need to work on this. I am! I was more hoping there would be folks who have been there/done that and could be reassuring it will be okay. We are doing weight check ins every two weeks, monitoring diapers, etc. he’s getting some formula in his oatmeal etc and I’m going to keep trying that. But anyway, I’m not looking to get more stressed out here than I am. To the pp who suggested changing nipple size, have tried that..... and different bottles ..... I’m trying spoon feeding the formula too.


Have you tried a straw cup?

Maybe do a little smoothie with a banana?

We didn’t use formula, but my daughter started refusing pumped bottles around 9 or 10 months. She continued to nurse at bedtime, and we increased solids. She’s healthy and strong.
