Refusing bottle

[Poppet12345]

My little one is 5.5 months.
In the last couple of weeks she's been refusing her bottle, getting half way through it and smacking the bottle away or wriggling. She's doesn't seem to be in pain but just that she doesn't want it.
She's went from drinking a 9oz bottle to now drinking about 5oz.
If I keep persisting she will get another oz in her but she won't finish the bottle.
I thought it might be teething as she's drooling a lot and her hands are constantly in her mouth.
Has anyone experienced this?

Have you started her in solids Poppet? Is so, it could be that.

If you think it could be teething, what have you tried so far?

Hi, I have a 5.5month baby who is only breastfed and will not take a bottle!!! Have tried so many different types and he just won’t have it! He took it a couple of times as a little baby but then we just didnt for a week as we were always indoors etc and then when i went to do it one day he just refused and hasnt taken it since🙈Any tips!? Panicking for when i go back to work! X

@Osmith could you try a cup instead? I BF both of mine and both refused a bottle but would reluctantly take a cup of I wasn't around.

How old will baby be when you go back to work?

Have a try of a few different tests, I'm sure the variflow teats are supposed to be the same as a nipple the way they latch. Also try different temperatures of the milk.
