8 month old refuses bottle
My son is 8 months old. Till 6 months he was exclusively breastfed and after introducing solids at 6 months he was continued to be breast fed twice a day including at nights.. But now my supply has reduced and at night it's not being sufficient for him and he is not sleeping well because of that. He is not accepting bottle and he starts crying as soon as bottle is offered. Since couple of days he is not sleeping well because of less milk at night. How can i get him to accept the bottle... Kindly help, I'm exhausted.

Baby has been used to breastfeeding
And switching to bottle feed takes time to adjust by baby
When the baby cries, offer the bottle or offer milk by katori spoon. Eventually out of hunger, baby will have drink by bottle
