Help,my 3 month old is refusing to take bottle all of a sudden

[totallyfloaty35]

My LO is just turned 3 months,for the last week she has refused all bottle feeds.She is fully breast fed and has had bottles of expressed milk since she was 2weeks old.I tend to give her a bottle feed approx every other day.
Im due to go back to work in Feb and im starting to panic.

Hi TF35,

I do't have much advice, but I can sympathise. My first DS was fed both breast ad bottle, however, my DS2 would have nothing of it and has never had a bottle! I'm making sure DS3 gets both breast and bottle!

If I were you, I'd keep trying with the bottle, don't give up. Is there someone else around that can give your DD the bottle feed? Maybe she can smell the milk on you and would much prefer her mummy! (don't they all!) I'd also try and start to introduce a bottle or two a day if you're planning on going back to work soon.

Oh and try not to tense up and get stressed about it, she'll pick up on your emotions and won't be as relaxed and willing to take it.

Hope it works out for you both!

Thanks mumatuks,others have tried her with the bottle too,have also tried different teats etc,she just turns her head away and screams.I cant figure out why she doesnt want it now,she even uses a dummy so she shouldnt have a problem with silicone.
