Breast to bottle ......

If only it was as easy as it sounds, and how it has been in the past!
My first two mini ones happily breast fed solely for the first 6-8 months, somewhere between the 6-8 months a bottle was introduced firstly with expressed breast milk and later with formula. They were fine, they liked the Tommee Tippee teat which is the closer to nature one and all was good. 
Well I thought it would be the same with miniminimini1, no!!!! I have tried expressed milk in almost ever brand including disposable bottles, sippy cups, open cups and straws with no success but this week we have breakthrough and why am I not surprised as this wonderful brand has always helped at the beginning with the fabulous nipple cream, have you guessed who...."Lansinoh" yes their momma bottles and sippy cups have happily been accepted by Miniminimini1 at almost 10 months old! 
I'll let you know how we progress but with the heat we currently have I'm so happy he is taking water and he is not completely attached to only my nipples!
