How to get 10wk old bf baby to take a bottle?

My 10wk old baby is bf but has been given a bottle of EBM or formula every now and then if I've been out or so I could get more sleep. But suddenly she is refusing the bottle whether it contains formula or EBM. Does anyone have any suggestions?

hello ! try a faster flowing teat ? I have heard that work...

when are you giving it? If you wait until they are very hungry they may well get upset and refuse.

Try roughly in between feeds when they may be a little peckish but not ravenous! Worked for me and a friend of mine.

Tried the faster flow teat it did nothing to help she just refused to swallow entirely and it was all just dribbling down her chin and she was sticking her tongue out to stop me putting the bottle back in. Will try the tip for inbetween feeds and see how we go.
