The bizarre tip shocked thousands of parents online and one video has since been viewed a whopping 3.4 million times.
As expected, other moms had a series of burning questions to ask.
“Okay, but how did you decide to try the sauce bottle one day?” wrote a woman.
The mother explained herself and said, ‘She wouldn’t take a bottle, she would drink from a syringe… a syringe is made of hard plastic and so is the tomato sauce bottle,’ she said.
‘So [I] thought why don’t you give it a try.’
In another short TikTok video, the mother showed her daughter resisting feeding a baby bottle, but happily using the sauce bottle instead.
Others were incredulous and couldn’t believe the trick worked.
“This is a joke, isn’t it?” one person wrote.
“Desperate times call for desperate measures…I think at some point you would look in frustration at anything that could potentially be liquid,” wrote another.
A third wrote: ‘I think this is brilliant…but I’m curious why you even thought of trying the sauce bottle at all.’
Others supported the woman and outlined other struggling mothers often faced in the transition from breastfeeding to bottle feeding.
“I’ve seen babies hospitalized and tube fed because they wouldn’t take a bottle and they were starving. I’m glad you found something that works!’ said a woman.
“My mom always said food is best, so… do what works, it’s your kid at the end of the day,” added another.
“I don’t know what the problem is…if the baby wants to eat like this and Mommy needs a break or can’t breastfeed, what more could people want?” another wrote.
The World Health Organization and the National Health and Medical Research Council in Australia recommend that you breastfeed your child without any other liquids or solids for at least six months.
Between 12 and 24 months, breast-feeding should be continued in combination with solid foods.
But in some cases, mothers are unable to breastfeed and choose bottle feeding as a suitable alternative.
