Help! My ebf 4 month old refuses a bottle!

Really really looking for some help / advice please!

My 4 month old will not take a bottle - we’ve tried everything over the past month and she would occasional have one up until 2 months ago.

We’ve tried different bottles, teats, flows, breast milk, formula, different temperatures, places, hungry not hungry, different people feeding her and I’ve even left the house a for a few hours!

She doesn’t even seem to like sippy cups - the ones suitable from 4+ months and I’m starting to lose the plot.

The only thing that she seems to accepts is an actual cup (think it’s called a doidy cup) which she laps up like a dog but it takes ages for her to actually get any milk!

I feel like I’ve started to lose my way and don’t really know what to do as I’m due to be away for a day and night in a few weeks!

Should I persist with sippy cups instead? If so how long does it take for them to get the hang of things? What’s best for a 4 month old?

Aaaah …help… any guidance on this would be greatly appreciated! Smile
