My LO is 3 months old and has been drinking ebm from the bottle and I try to latch her on occasional as she couldn't latch on well initially. Recently, she refused to drink from the bottle. She cries and screams very loudly whenever we try to feed her from the bottle and only wants to latch on. Anyone knows why is this so? I thought when we give baby the bottle they wouldn't want to latch on anymore. Now I need to go back to work soon. How do I get her to accept the bottle again?

She likes breastfeeding too much :) Maybe get someone else to give her the bottle, like your husband, mum or even helper. She could be rejecting the bottle when you offer it because she associates you with breastfeeding and comfort.
