Bottle Refuser - high palate teats/bottles?

[Littlepinkpear]

Hi

DD is ebf, lots of problems in the first 3/4 weeks which I thought was tongue tie but after a lactation consultant appointment I was told she has a high palate.

She is now 12 weeks and I've been trying for the last 3 every day, a couple of times, to get her to take some ebm in a bottle. I have to be able to leave her for 6 hours in a few weeks time.

Any advice on what kind? She can't seem to suck or get what the bottle is for. She just pushes it out with her tongue!

I have tommee tippee, Avent and Medela - all tried but not taken.

You'll probably get multiple suggestions but for my DD the Nuk latex teats (smallest hole) are the ones she can manage. Tried Avent and Medela here too but didn't push it when she stuck her tongue out at them!

It took her a while to figure it out but I stuck with Nuk because that was the only sort of dummy she would accept too (albeit for very short periods) and the latex is nice and soft so I knew it was at least comfortable for her. She's still not a pro and a lot ends up on the bib but she's definitely getting better.

Is it NUK first choice? I'm rural so going to order online.

Yep. I ordered online too. Good luck!
