My baby boy is 5&1/2 mnths old.weighs 15lb ht 64cm, breast feeded. is his weight ok. want to introduce bottle. but he is not interested.how 2 intriduc?

Breast to bottle: His weight is 20th percentile and height is 25th percentile. This means he is a good weight for his height just small for his age. When starting the bottle wait until he is really hungry and let someone else offer it. He knows you have the real thing and will prefer the breast but will probably take the bottle from someone else. Once he gets used to it you will be able to give the bottle also.
