Baby refuses bottle

2 replies

My baby is 6 months and up until 2 weeks ago has taken bottles fine (normally about 3-4 a week.
Suddenly he refuses anything but boob.
I have paid out so much money trying different bottles then moved on to sippy cups and doidy cups but nothing seems to work. I have tried expressed formula. Got people to try when I’m around. Feel like I’ve read and tried every article online. He point blank refuses. He went 6hours screaming for my dad when I had to leave him and didn’t have a single drop of milk. He was hysterical by the time I got to him.
I’m getting desperate now.
It’s honestly making me regret breastfeeding at all.

Try an open cup. If he's anywhere near sitting and holding, a small shot glass is ideal.

Check your milk doesn't do that tasting funny after being stored thing. There's a proper name but I can't remember!

Just keep trying too, he will get back to it soon enough.

We started with an open cup while baby was sitting in the bath so the spills didn’t matter Smile
