...my 16wk old ds is ebf and has only ever had 2 ebm bottles, a while ago. now i think he is teething but he also won't go to anyone but me and won't accept any bottles (avent, tommee tippee, nuk). i have to leave him for a whole day this week and i'm worried. he won't even go to his dad and i sleep with him as he has reflux so he is extremely attached to me.
what am a going to do?? oh, and he's feeding constsntly yje last couple of days.

Have you tried giving him little sips from a plastic cup?

My DS and DD both refused bottles but would 'lap' breastmilk from a cup held to their lips very happily.

Hope you find something that works, sure more people will be along with advice soon

Thanks cantspell...
i was actually thinking i might try that, or a medicine syringe. will try later on. he seems to want my boob for comfort and will only feed to sleep. oh dear!!

my LO will take ebm from the lid of a standard bottle used like a cup, does take a bit of patience tho. u could try feeding the milk heated up quite warm and pre-heat the teat in hot water immediately before feeding. Also trying the bottle at the time of day baby is most hungry?
