Breastfed baby spits out milk from bottle

[Elizabeth45]

I have an 11 week old who has been ebf. I have been trying to get her to take a bottle of breast milk so that i can be away from her for a few hours. We have tried several bottles and she has refused them all. We are finally having some success with Minbie bottle however she seems to be sucking the milk and then just spitting/dribbling it all out. Has anyone else had this problem and any tips on how to get her to actually drink? She even does it with freshly expressed milk so the temp would be what she is used to. I don't know if it's a problem with milk, flow from teat, just fussiness?! I know that lots of babies that drink from a bottle can make quite a bit of mess when they feed anyway. Any advice or thoughts would be appreciated!

Some babies just won't take a bottle!
Try some different bottles and teat flows.
Also try leaving the house and letting someone else try with the bottle. That can work.

My ds eventually took ebm from a latex nuk teat in a glass bottle but only at 7mo and 3 days into him being at nursery all day!
He would never hav it at home even though he had a bottle of ebm twice a day for about 3 months!

Consequently when Dd came along I decided I wasn't going to bother with all the stress so she was just ebf.

It won't be too long until feeds start to stretch out and settle into a pattern so you will have a decent two hour window which will just get bigger as they start to wean.

Sorry that isn't very helpful but it might be easier to work around what you have rather than create a stress.
