My baby no longer wants the bottle

I need some advice please. My baby is 3 months old and only giving her breast milk either with the boob or express in a bottle and give to her so husband can also help with the feeds. 3 days ago, she refused the bottle and we have been trying but she refuses each time. I really need to get her back on the bottle so I can get help with the feeds. Any tips or advice would be much appreciated. Thanks

Same boat here, DD started turning the bottle down at 3m and is now 8m and exclusively breastfed. Some babies just don't like bottles. You can keep forcing it, but you'll be lucky if it works, and you'll all be miserable while you're doing it. I'd just resign yourself to BF for the time being, by 3m theyre old enough to know that the real thing is better than plastic bottles, and they're not shy about letting you know it!

I agree, bf babies are highly resistant to bottles and even dummies.
