Dear Mummies, what to do if LO refuses fbm? She direct latch since she was born. At first i thought maybe it was cause of the bottle, but now she knows to drink water from a straw bottle. So try to let her drink fbm from the straw bottle. But she refuses. This was when i was not around for a few hours. My MIL helped to feed her. I tasted the fbm, and the fishy taste is horribly strong. Perhaps that is why she refuse to drink. I am worried because i am going back to work and hopes she can drink the fbm. Any similar experiences? What did you do? Thank you in advanced!

It's the lipase taste that is the reason they are rejecting it. Yes you can try scalding it. But it's a lot of work. So i would just offer some FM while i'm away. How old is your child now?

probably you have to work hard on chilled bm instead since you LO is unable to accept FBM even you tried to scald it
