Bottle battler help!!

[Boobsout]

Looking for any tips or advice on moving 19 week DD onto bottles. She has been EBF up until now and will not accept a bottle we have tried 4 different types with no joy as soon as we try her (when she's hungry/not so hungry tired/wide awake) all she does is move the nipple around her mouth but never latch on and the longer it goes on the more annoyed she gets. HV was unhelpful with the comment oh well some babies only like boobs you will just have to keep going!!ive made the decision now that I want her off the boobs and onto bottles as I feel as if I'm never getting any me time and hubby is missing out (DS was bottle fed as never took to the boobs and hubby is missing doing the occasional feed)and were also meant to be going to London for a weekend in June kid free which I'm scared isn't going to happen now as little lady isn't playing the game has anyone else managed to persuade little ones to take the bottle at a later stage or have you used the cup method??seriously starting to get frustrated over it now as doesn't matter who offers it whither I'm present or not she will not latch on! Sorry for the rant just feel as if I have no support from HV and running out of google search ideas!!

Having the same prob at 14 weeks, since 8 weeks. Before then he took one ebm bottle a day but started refusing as he developed more awareness. HV also unhelpful. A retired pediatrician friend of family advised me to let him play with it in his mouth regularly at a time of day when he's not anxious with hunger so I'm trying that. No luck yet. A bf counsellor told me I could use a cup for him to lap milk from, but I haven't tried that yet. Tried many teats/brands but I don't think that's the issue - the issue is they prefer breast. Good luck!

You can try using a cup? My little boy won't take any bottle but will take a cup. Although he won't take enough for a proper feed unfortunately. However yours might be different :) id recommend a doidy cup.

after two months of trying my 4.5 month old has just accepted a dr.brown with a six month + teat. I have a fast let down so seems the faster flow is the answer. We tried about six different bottles and also used a beaker which he is getting the hang of.
I don't know whether it was the type of bottle or he was just ready to accept it again. I sit him in his bouncy chair to give it so very different from bf and he first took it whilst we were out in the park and he was distracted.

Also I tried different formulas. I know they are all very similar but he ended up taking hipp organic where I had always tried with aptimil before
