hi sanivay ! please avoid use of bottle , Instead serve him milk througha sipper or a glass. u can continue to breastfeed till 2years of age.. at night serve him a sip of water and make him sleep. this might make some time but he would come around soon.

thanks Shikha Batra but the elders in the family feel that the baby tends to continue with his milk more religiously if he has the habit of the bottle... m confused. any suggestions on that

i have nothing to say on their belief. but can say for sure that bottle would affect child's dentition in the long run, might cause infection of ear ,nose and throat or even stomach infection.. and also this habit would be difficult to shun.

Shikha Batra thank u so much... i ll surely try a sipper and continue to breastfeed him. maybe both formula n bm should be better than givin him a bottle. thank u so much for ur quick response.
