Just that really. I was meant to be going to visit some girlfriends for one night this weekend and was hoping to leave our 4 month old at home so I could have my first night off/time away from the baby but he's refusing to drink out the bottle. We also have a wedding next week too that we were meant to be going without kids, it's not looking good.
Our nearly 2 year old who was also breast fed would happily drink from the bottle at a similar age, mostly expressed milk but she'd have the occasional formula when I'd not stockpiled enough. I assumed our little boy would be the same. I've tried a couple of times with expressed milk in a tommee tippee closer to nature slow flow teat and also the medela teat that came with the pump. He spits both out and gets upset but is clearly hungry and goes mad once I actually offer him the boob.
I just wondered if there's anyone who has had a similar problem and if so was there a teat/brand their baby would take? I don't want to go out and buy every brand under the sun!
