my daughter is now 7 weeks old and we have been trying to get her to take a bottle for 3 weeks now every evening. some nights are just about ok and others are down right traumatic. she starts to gag and choke and gets "frantic". she is rooting and tries to take more but wont/cant.
we have tried avent classic teats 1 and 2 and seemed happier with the 2 hole teat but then tried the avent natural with size 2 teat with not much improvement.
we are finding this very very stressful. should we just perservre ?? try different bottles teats ?? i kind of feel that after 3 weeks she really should be getting it ??
forgot to say that she also has reflux and is taking medication for this.
any advice/tips most greatly recieved.
