11 weeks old rejecting bottle

Question

Hi Mummies,My 11 weeks old boy has suddenly started hating bottles. I have used MAM bottle since about 3 weeks, but now he is just straight up refusing, even when I know he is hungry. He would latch instead. From 3 weeks onwards it has been a mix of bottle feed and latch but now he is not taking bottle at all :(I love that mom is comfort, but I go back to work in 3 weeks and am wanting a smooth transition! What do I do? Any tips? I am really worried #pleasehelp #firsttimemom

Try leaving the house during feeding time and let someone bottle feed baby. Babies are smart and if they sense you’re there and prefers the boob, they will not take the bottle. :) It won’t be a one off immediate success thing, just try a few times.
