Baby is almost 6 months old.
He would happily take a bottle of ebm once or twice a week (to give me a break).
Last week we started topping him up in the evening with a bottle of ebm to help him go longer at night (it worked!).
Saturday he refused the bottle, and has done so consistently since then.
We have tried:
bigger teats in the Closer to Nature bottles (rejected)
Dr Brown bottles with teats 1 and 2 (rejected)
Tommee Tippee bottle to cup thing (too hard to get any milk out)
Tommee Tippee easiflow teat cup-type thing (didn't like it when the milk came out)
Tommee Tippee little cup with a pop up spout (no sucking involved, didn't like it when the milk came out)
A cup with no spout at all (he wouldn't swallow).
We've also tried him playing with the bottle/cup which he likes doing, but the moment it goes in his mouth, it's crying time.
That was all ebm; we've also tried formula milk, and that was also a no.
We've tried it with me offering the vessel, me out of the room, DH with him in another location altogether, someone other than DH.
I'm in a flat panic because it means no more nights off for me - he doesn't sleep through - and I also need to go back to work in January.
