Hi all, my baby is 2 months old now and I'm breastfeeding her by direct latch. Now I am trying to feed her with bottle before I go back to work. But she rejects the bottle feed. Anyone has the same experience as me and please advise your solution with this?

V common issue. Sometimes they are confused why u are feeding them the bottle and not giving them ur boob instead. Sometimes they also know that if they persist long enough, they will get what they want - which is the boob. So the idea is to just do 1 same feed a day that is bottle fed, if possible have someone else to do that feed and u hide away. Have to coax and try continuously - otherwise will be a hard transition when someone else have to look after baby for u. Baby might play stubborn and don't drink or drink after much resistance and struggle(for days). But sometimes a change of person will work :)
