Worth trying another bottle?

[sarahb083]

DD is 12 weeks and EBF. I started pumping one bottle a day at about 4 weeks so that I could get some sleep, and she took the bottle for about a month. She now refuses the bottle and coughs and splutters when DH tries to feed her. We've tried about five times and it's the same every time. Any tips? Is it worth trying a different brand?

Have you tried pace feeding? There’s lots of info online, but it’s basically controlling how much they take in at one go, because a bottle is easier than boob and they need to learn to regulate.

If you have, try a different brand or a slower flow teat perhaps?

Yes, we've done paced feeding and that was working well when she would take the bottle. We've been using the Medela slow flow tests. Is there a particular brand that babies are more likely to take?
