I've been trying to feed my baby in a bottle using breast milk, just to give my wife some time for relaxation when I'm at home. But, my baby doesn't like drinking from the bottle. Can you give me some tips on how to do it correctly? Btw, my baby is 4 months old.

You just have to keep trying until she takes the bottle. What many parents do is they buy a variety of different teats and see what baby takes. I'm more of a different parent. I'll try till you take this teat. My girl is 6 months and has refused the bottle since about 3 months old. I have since been latching her and in the recent few weeks reintroduced her to the bottle. When she takes the bottle from my mum over the weekends I'm usually out of the house or my husband dream feeds at night. After about 2 weeks of bottle feeding during the weekends she's slowly getting used to it and taking the bottle well. Now she drinks even when I'm around. Otherwise the Lock n Lock bottles have been receiving a lot of attention lately for babies who reject bottles. You could probably give it a try.
