I am breastfeeding my twins, but they have been getting bottles regularly since they were born (they are 9 weeks now) of EBM and occasionally formula. I was doing bottles every night (of EMB or formula, depending if I had EBM available) to see if it helped them sleep longer for a while, and then we stopped for the last week to see if maybe nursing was preferable to help them go to sleep.
Anyway, started with bottles again 3 days ago, and my daughter freaked. She had maybe half her bottle (2 1/2 oz?) but cried the whole time and screamed for 3 hours after until her next feeding. My husband also tried, but same result. I tried again the next day and had the same experience. Anybody have any advice? I want them to be able to take bottles so that I don't always have to feed them, and because I plan to wean them at about 6 months, so she'll have to take bottles and eventually formula again.
