Hi all! First time poster. Have been ebf my 10 week old little girl. We struggled through week 6-8 with intense fussing but made it through.
As an aside she used to take a soother but the last few weeks it seems she has forgotten how to suck (?!) She can't keep it in her mouth.
I am keen to start getting her to take a bottle of my expressed milk so that i can pop out the odd evening etc. But it is not going to plan. She can't seem to work a bottle at all! Have tried to leave her dad to it to no avail. I have tried avent and Tommy timpee closer to nature teats, warmed it up etc but no joy. It all ends up dribbling out her mouth and she gets very upset.
Any tips? Am so scared have left it too late and she will be a refuser.
