So my DD2 is 3 months and ebf. I am trying, without luck, to get her take a bottle. DD1 took one from the start and was a greedy guzzler and no problem at all. DD2 was a month early and had some trouble latching, and so the two things combined made me late to give a bottle. I knew I should have done it sooner! We did give a bottle a few times, but weren't consistent.
She would never take a dummy, and we've tried every type possible, they just make her gag. She won't even latch on to a bottle and just screams.
It is all very stressful, but DH and I are going to have to persist, before I go back to work, amongst other reasons.
We are trying bottles with smaller teets, to try and make it easier for her. We've tried giving it when she's not hungry, when she is, half way through BFing.
Any tips or magic solutions that don't involve her screaming??!
