3 month DS won't take a bottle anymore

[catnip]

DS was happy to have a bottle of expressed milk when I went out (well, the two evenings that I did) but tonight I came back to find stressed DP and screaming baby. Is there anything I can do to get him to take a bottle again?

Perhaps change the teat. Nuk ones are good, more like a boob as are chicco physiological.

I dont think you'll want to hear this but I am going through a similar experience. Think I'll probably have to go straight onto a cup in a few months time.

we had this - I think they forget how to take a bottle if it's not a regular thing. getting them to take it again can be really difficult - and tedious - trial and error really - different teats, different times of day, different positions, distracting them with music or somtheing to gaze at. fwiw my advice would be to decide whether it's worth it - cos it can be bloody hard work and can be really stressful - with hindsight, for us, I suspect it created more stress then the occassional evening out was worth. you could just shrug your shoulders and time your evenings out round his feeds. it might seem like a long time now but a few months really isn;t that long. if you do decide it's worth it then my other advice would be to make it a regular - ie daily thing. good luck
