Please help! 10 week old bottle refuser

4 replies

What can I do to make my baby take a bottle?!
Have tried Tommee Tipee and MAM (with size 2 teat) and she just spits it out and screams and screams.

Tried to spend the afternoon with older DC and got a call from DH saying he can't get her to take the bottle and I have to rush home.

I don't want to continue breastfeeding and need her to take a bottle. Please help, I'm so frustrated Sad

No help, but mine REFUSED to take a bottle, from birth until 11months. Tried daily, screamed, pushed out etc.

I wanted to bf anyway, but wanted bottle option. I didn't even know it could be a thing that babies reject bottles.

I wish id given up trying so hard to get a bottle accepted much earlier, would have avoided a lot of daily frustration

Size 2 teat might be too fast for her at 10weeks. I had great success with Avent classic & Dr brown's teats, weirdly they aren't trying to be like a boob, just a standard teat but seemed to take to easily.
If this isn't the issue your husband could try wearing something that smells of you, or maybe if she's left with him he's picking up hunger cues too late to then have anything but boob?? or it could be something completely unrelated Confused

DS completely refused all bottles, I never could get him to take one.
