breastfed 11 week old refusng bottle expressed milk

[weeonion]

good evening folks.

DD2 is 11 weeks old and breastfed. despite a few problems in early weeks, everything is going well. i have a great supply and no problems expressing milk.

DD2 has had some bottles of expressed milk but is now refusing them ( dp had been giving one some evenings so i spent some time with dd1). dd2 now screams and screams and will not take them. we have tried different brands / bottles, different positions but nothing seems to work.

i would really like to be able to get out some evenings but now feeling tied.

any advice / tips?

We started combi feeding today and initially DD refused the bottle. You may have already tried this but we discovered she will only take the bottle in her usual breastfeeding position.
Apologies if you've already tried this.

My 3 month old will only take an ounce so I sympathise, dc1 did the same. I hope you get some helpful advice, we mostly gave up with the bottle for dc1 and with dc2 I'm not sure what to try - she feeds to sleep, I think that makes it harder to accept the bottle too.
