DS is 8 weeks old and EBF on demand but we'd like him to be happy to take a bottle of EBM so at some point in the future I can go out for a few hours! For the last two nights he has taken a bottle of expressed milk from DH with minimal fuss, but tonight after initially going for it he decided it was not happening and had a bit of a scream until I fed him from the usual source.
Is it ok to try again later with the same bottle or should I sterilise a new one? I'm new to the whole bottles thing and find it all quite confusing(not planning to regularly express, would just like him to take a bottle so the option is there in the future). Please don't say the milk now has to go to waste!! Also, I've read a lot about babies refusing different types of teat - does the fact that he has taken a couple of bottles(TT closer to nature ones) indicate that that is not the issue?
Any advice would be much appreciated - thanks!
