Baby hates bottles
I need some serious help... My baby is 3 months old will be 4 on July 12th shes been exclusively breastfed for about 3 months (she was bottlefed for about 2-3 weeks) So seens I have only breastfed her now she does not want to take a bottle I been trying for so long ... about a week and a half ago I asked how can I get my baby to take a bottle again and someone told me to get a Nuk bottle so I did I noticed the nipple is different than the other bottles ive tried so baby did suck on it but than she pushed it out with her tongue she does that everytime and cries like crazy idk what to do I was hoping she would take this bottle but the same thing that has happened with the other ones is happening with this one... what can I do ? shes also not gaining weight but I cant give her formula Ive tried to feed her with a spoon and all she doea is move her head and cry ... im really worried idk what to do ... any help ?
Oh and frozen milk stays good for like 6 months! hwwolent suggest relief to swath from breast and mom milk to bottle and formula. All at the same time too. That's a lot for baby to take in! She might not be wanting it because the taste of formula. I heard breast milk tastes so much better then formula.
Don't give formula. If your gonna bottle fees so it with breast milk. Pump that stuff! Why can't you bf in public? It's actually illegal if a place doesn't let you bf there now.
Nina159, Thank you ... & I have more than enough milk I just want to have someone also be able to feed her not just me all the time I cant even work because im breastfeeding and cant be away from my baby ...
That sounded mean and kinda cruel you never know maybe somthing came up to were she can no longer breastfeedi her baby. And stay strong she take to it sooner or later :) wish you the best
MomOf1ExpectingAnother, Well I love to breastfeed thats what I wanted seens I was pregnant to be able to breastfeed her and I dont plan to Stop I just want to be able to have a break and be able to feed her a bottle and formula when im not able to breastfeed her like in public .. .
I have heard the 90% of the time to get a breast baby to take the bottle they had to get another person to give the bottle. Maybe dad or grandma. Or someone you trust. And you can't be in sight when it goes down. I hope that helps!
She's gotten use to your breast & that's going to be hard to break hun . Geesh! That's why they say don't start something unless you're going to finish it .
Just breathe you sound like your stressing out. I had thst problem with my son he took him self off the nipple n would refuse to take a bottle. Your just gunna have to keep trying, when you frustrated around the baby she will notice n freaks her out. Keep calm n call her doctor nif you can't figure anything else out. They dont know a lot of things but they probably been thru that problem already.
