What bottle finally worked for your bottle-refuser?

[flipflopsonfifthavenue]

DS2 is 14wks and ebf. Like DS1 before him he's so far refused a bottle of expressed bm. Actually, he took 60ml from DP once but I think it was by accident and he's never repeated the mistake

If you had a bottle refuser what kind of bottle worked for you in the end? Or was it less a question of the type of bottle and more just keeping on trying etc

I'd like to be able to introduce the odd bottle a coupe of times a week so I can start going for the odd swim/run in the eves and not leave DP with no way to feed DS2 if he wakes

Nothing, but once made it to 6 months DH could shovel yogurt down him in my absence.

Err none sorry. He was 8m before he would even drink water, and that was from a tommeetippee cup. Once he got the hang of that he was away though, but I never bothered with expressing or ff again.

Mam bottles with warm milk and very sleepy baby. Remove dummy, replace with teat - worked with both my dd and ds.
Mimijumi may be worth a try- they get great reviews.

Mine was EBF too and had to start taking expressed milk when I went back to work. Medela. Only Medela; the bottles that come with the breast pump. Absolutely brilliant.

DS only started to take bottle happily after weaning established. We used tommy tippee as that's what we had bought for us. Prior to weaning I don't think he'd have taken any different kind of bottle - he just didn't want to eat from anything other than boob til he realised that food was gooooood!

I have started to introduce my 11 week old to 1 bottle a day. After 5 good days she now point blank refuses. Any advice on why this is? Tried heat, bottle, teet size. Could it be type of formuler?

Art aptamil do 70ml bottles, ready made.

My ds1 took a bottle when he was a few weeks old, however after having a break from bottles after a tongue tie revision at 12 weeks I struggled for ages to try to get him to take a bottle again. I started back at work 2 days a week when he was 6 months and I was panicking for ages as to what he would do. I tried every bottle going and now have a big box of them all! Eventually, after my second day back at work he just started taking them when my mum fed him. It was the MAM ones that worked in the end, although I don't know if it was the bottle or he just decided he better start taking it if he wanted to get fed!!

Medela with the regular not calma teat.

I think not leaving it too late and also giving a dummy early on helped too. DD and DS1 both had bottles before about 8-10 weeks and never had any problems.
DS2 and DS3 didn't have them until about 6 months and took a while to take them.

DD will now take cow's milk from a Tommee Tippee Closer To Nature teat on one of their bottle/cup things with handles, so she can hold it herself, and she's 9 months. Before this minor breakthrough, we tried EBM and formula from all manner of recepticles. She refused EBM in everything except the boob. Grr.

Another one who was tempted by NUK with latex teat. Had given a couple of bottles at birth as initially she had a poor latch, but then was lulled into a false sense of security when I tried her again at four months - refusal! The NUK worked eventually and then I tried to give her a bottle every few days as I went back to work at 6 months. X

NUK latex teat here too. Also from a glass bottle....
I feel like trying it myself now that all the cool kids are doing it.
