Help with bottlefeed

Hi Mommies, I had introduced bottle to feed EBM once or twice a day to my LO from 2+ weeks and she seemed to be taking it like a pro. It was Philips avent bottle with I teat. However, from the day she turned 1 month, she started rejecting the bottle completely. When trying, she takes in 10-20 ml max and then pushes the bottle out & starts crying hysterically. Have tried different teats for avent and Pigeon bittle as well, but no luck. Any mom faced the same? How to get my baby to take bottle at least once or twice a day? #firstbaby #advicepls #bottlefeed

Went through exactly the same thing. I upsized the teat and had to retrain my baby to drink. The bottle training was very tough. She was really strong willed and physically strong too. A parentcraft nurse taught me to hold the botte with my first 2 fingers and rest the other 3 under her jaw. Then after inserting the bottle into the mouth, I would use the 3 fingers to close her jaw in a rhythmic way to encourage her to suck. The other thing that I was taught, especially if she was cranky and tired but not drinking, was to swaddle her, pat her to sleep on her side, then when she was very drowsy, to insert the bottle into her mouth. She was more willing to drink then. The biggest tip is that.. I could not be the one feeding her with the bottle. She wanted to latch, not take the bottle. So my husband had to be the one giving her the bottle, and it had to be at a different place from where I usually fed her. Honestly, I struggled with bottle rejection with my baby time and again for about 10 months. I think only when we made her use the bottle for almost every feed during the day, did she finally give in and drink more.

4 month old refusing bottle feed and goes on nursing strike!

We tried introducing Avent and Hegen bottles to my LO when he was 3 months old and he rejected both. Thereafter he went on nursing strike intermittently. Hence we stopped introducing the bottle to get him back on track with direct latch. Now that he will soon be going to infant care, we tried to reintroduce bottle feeding to him. Tried NUK nature sense and sippy cup, Tommee tippee and Avent sippy cup (he kinda like the latter but would choke on it as flow is too fast) but none worked. MIL and hubby tried to feed him without me being around also didn't work. I'm at wits end. Any mummies and daddies out there have any suggestions? #1stimemom #pleasehelp #bottlefeed

maybe change brand or change the way you feel her? put milk in those straw bottle/cup. i think all babies like to try new and innovative things!
