Breastfeeding to bottle

Hi, I am breastfeeding my 4 month old son, when he was born I struggled initially to get him to latch on so would pump into a bottle which he took to. Around 8 weeks I managed to get breastfeeding and have been doing that since. I am now wanting to pump so that he will also take to the bottle as well as breast but he just doesn't want it and rejects it. Has anyone else had this struggle?

I think bottle refusal is pretty common. If you have a look in the archive there'll be lots of old threads on bottle refusal but we just used a cup Smile
