Baby preferring breast than bottle

Hi mummies, I have been breastfeeding and bottle feeding together (mixing breast milk and formula) for my baby. She has been rejecting bottles on and off and I am a low supply mum. She can go hours without drinking milk and I’m very worried. Do you all experience this? What can I do? I have changed the bottle, changed the teats.. and this happens on and off. ?

I'm having the same problem too. What I'm trying for now is to feed her in smaller quantity and have her daddy do the feeding. During feeding session, I will stay in hiding. So far, we managed to get her drink little-by-little. This happened out of a sudden to us. She had been drinking well day & night since birth till this recent weeks.

How old is baby now? Try let your hubby or family members to bottle feed. You observe from far. Don’t go near first. Baby needs to drink milk, if not she may get cranky/ colic etc It is normal some babies reject bottle or bf. Need to try n error
