4 month bottle refusal - help!!

3 replies

Rosieposie2392 · 04/12/2024 16:46

My DD is 4 months and is EBF due to bottle refusal. We’ve been trying the bottle every day at the same time while I leave the house, but we’re not making any progress. She will take milk from a spoon and I’m wondering if we should try a cup instead. I’m not sure if she is too young to try this although I have noticed that most cups say 4+ months. Looking for some advice!

There are cups that help, I was recommended by my nurse to use a doidycup which mine accepted really quickly

Which bottles are you using? We tried a few and settled on Philips Avent and my DH had to always warm the breastmilk under the warm tap, baby didn't take it cold.

Edit to say I just seen how old this post is. Hopefully you got to the bottom of it!

Both of mine were total bottle refusers but would take a cup at that age.

BF babies only take around 25floz in 24 hours so if she takes 1 to 2 floz from a cup that is considered a full feed Wink
