Our baby is now 3 months old and still refuses to take a bottle. I am currently breastfeeding and would like her to take a bottle of expressed milk on occasion to allow me some freedom. She took a bottle at 6 weeks and has refused ever since. I have tried having my husband feed her, leaving the house and a variety of nipples - nothing works. Do you have any advice?
It's very common for a baby to express her love of the breast by rejecting the bottle. Rather than try different nipples, I'd stick with one bottle and one nipple, so your little one gets used to it. Keep trying. Let someone else offer the bottle when the little lady is hungry. Just keep trying, eventually she'll accept it.
Keep up the good work!
