Hi all my LO is 13 weeks old and DL breastfed. Had tried to intro bottles since 6 weeks old but she hates them and refuse to drink from them. Bottles are fed by my husband. She only took some milk from them when she is drowsy ( during night feeds).. Tried nuk latex teat, medela calma, dr brown's but she just refuse. Only manage to dream feed on nuk 2 to 3 times. Even when I am not present, she also rejects them. Wondering how cuz she will need the bottle when I go back to work. Heard some parents let them cry till hungry hrs later then they take the bottle.. do I really have to do that? i usually wait an hr..

Maybe you can try using nipple shields when you're nursing your baby now. This will make her get use to the taste and feel of silicon or aftificial teats and by the time you have to go back to work, she'll be more susceptible to bottles. Another suggestion I can offer is trying out the bottles by Adiri. It literally looks like a breast attached to a bottle. I've had friends who used this bottle and they find it worth the price (can be quite pricey). http://www.adiri.com
