11 week old now refusing bottle

DD has always been fine taking a bottle since a few weeks old (she is EBF but DH was giving her a bottle of EBM during the night). SHe has suddenly started refusing the bottle, crying if it even comes near her. We have tried different bottles and different teats. At the moment we are trying with the bottle once or twice a day but no luck. Any advice out there? I want to know I can leave her with a bottle if necessary.

If you can manage EBFing her then I would continue with that. She may have decided that she prefers the comfort and warmth of her mummy I wouldn't force her if she clearly doesn't want it. There isn't much you can do if they decide not to take something but you can try giving her EBM via a cup or a syringe. Some babies can manage with that.

Thanks - I might resort to a cup if we have no luck over next week or so. Its frustrating because bottles have been ok until now!
