2 month old won’t take a bottle

[CS90]

I’ve been exclusively breastfeeding for 2 months now and introduced a bottle at 4 weeks which she struggled to take and fussed a lot but eventually took 2 bottles over several weeks. Unfortunately due to not keeping going with it, my baby completely hates the bottle which means I’m unable to leave her for the day with other people. Can anyone recommend anything? I’ve tried different bottles

I exclusively breastfed. Tried a bottle with expressed milk but children wouldn't take it. Just have to accept that, for the moment, you can't leave your little one with anyone else for long periods of time. The time does soon go.
As soon as you start weaning you will get a little more freedom.
Your little one really needs mum for the majority of the time. All they have known since conception is you, they still need that comfort at this age.

None of my three ever took a bottle. I think some babies just can’t cope with the difference. I gave up trying in the end, as we all got upset. I just resigned myself to either taking the baby with me, or just nipping out for a quick coffee or something. It doesn’t go on for ever and by seven months mine began eating solids and drinking from a sippy cup.

Google different teats. I had the same issue and found one that was more like a nipple than other teats and it worked. I can't remember what make it was now but I bought a two pack from Amazon and went off the reviews

None of mine ever took a bottle either but you can leave them. Mine would take sone EBM from a cup. Have a look at this article from Kellymom on different feeding methods.

Try different teats and bottles. I will say though, that even though i went back to work full time at 7 months, my baby was adamant he hated bottles. He would have a couple while i was work but only just enough to not starve and then breastfeed constantly while i was home!.

My baby never took a bottle either. You may just have to accept that you can't be away from your baby for more than a couple of hours for the next few months.

At 6 months, when they start solids, you can introduce a straw cup and see if they'll drink milk that way.

My babies refused as well - we started them off with sippy cups when they were around 4-6 months old - you can get ones with a soft beak.

A health visitor recommendation was to breastfeed first then try 1oz of milk from a bottle.

They explained if you were really hungry you would be frustrated if you couldn’t use your knife and fork fast enough. So once they are more content try a bottle and then you can increase the amount over time
