Breastfed baby refusing bottle

[jonsies22]

I really need some help. My baby is 11 weeks old and has been solely breastfed. It is our wedding anniversary at the end of this month and my husband and I were hoping to have a night away and leave little one with my mum.

However, have tried expressing and little one is not interested in the bottle at all. Occasionally she seems to make a bit of effort to suck, but gets really distressed. I've tried feeding her myself, getting her in the same position as breast feeding. My husband and mam have also tried feeding her but nothing is really working.

Any tips? Has anyone found any particular teets help?

Thanks.

My DD took TT CTN bottles fine from birth upto around 5 weeks old then point blank refused. I then tried umpteen different bottles spending an absolute fortune on them and the only one she's taken is a Breastflow. They have them in TK Maxx at £10 for 4 if you have one nearby.

We found it best for me to go upstairs well away from DD and OH so she couldn't smell my milk on me too. I hope you manage to get him to take one in time for your anniversary. My DD's 6 month's on the 19th and I've not managed an evening away from her yet as now I can't express enough!
