Hi
Thanks for using 'Ask A Doctor' service.
I have gone through the query and do understand your concern.
Weaning is a gradual process and the parents should keep patience.
Introduction of any new item in infants takes time and it is quite common.
What I can suggest you that you may try formula feed first. You can continue the bottle feed for time being and try to shift from bottle to sipper.
I hope by this time you must have started some food items also along with the breast feed.
Don't worry as some babies get adjusted early while others take time.
I hope this helps.
Please let me know if you have any more questions.
Regards
