I know it's a much asked question but I haven't the energy to do searches...
My DS aged 8 weeks is ebf, when he was born he had everything: boob, bottle, sippy cup, syringe and finally took to the breast.
Now at 8 weeks he is bitterly and angrily refusing to take a bottle. This is really upsetting me as I am desperate to have a few hours away from him now and then, and have expressed bm in the freezer which we are currently wasting at a rate of knots as we keep having to chuck it down the sink after he refuses it.
I can't bear this! I'm happy to be successfully bf after such a shaky start, but part of me wishes we'd scrapped it and just given the bottle from day one if he was going to later refuse it.
I'd love any advice at all about getting him to accept a bottle, what worked for you?
