Hello,
My son is soon going to be 5 months old, has been exclusively breastfed until now and absolutely will not take a bottle. We have been trying for months with no luck - changing types of bottle, types of teats, time of day, who is offering the bottle etc but he absolutely will not take it. He is fine for it to sit in his mouth for a bit, but just pushes it around with his tongue and then eventually starts to cry.
I am desperate to get him to take a bottle as my milk supply is extremely low - he will not sleep now and is constantly trying to feed. We have tried him with a sippy cup and he seems happy to chew on it and the milk does come out that way for him, but he then immediately spits it all out.
Any help or advice would be hugely appreciated, I don’t know where to go from here!
