Bottle feeding help

[Pudduk]

Hi, my daughter is 2 months old, currently breast fed. We tried to introduce a bottle after one month, seemed to go well, would take 40ml then stop. However now won't take anything, tried different bottles / times / teats to no avail. My wife needs to go back to work for financial reasons so we really need the bottle to work, does anyone have any suggestions?

Sending sympathy! My daughter absolutely refused a bottle. It was incredibly difficult and made me really panic before I went back to work. We tried everything we could possibly think of but nothing ever worked. When she started eating solids at 6 months we got her to have sips of water from a beaker, which made me feel marginally less stressed out about it. When I went back to work she'd just have a massive feed in the morning and a massive one when I got home. Seemed to be fine in between. Eventually she drank more from the beaker and figured out how to use a straw.

How old will she be when your partner goes back to work?
