Baby won't settle

Hoping someone might have some advice for me, my baby girl is now 10 weeks old and since she has been born I have been breastfeeding and bottle feeding her formula which has worked fine for her and she's been thriving the past ten weeks. However she had her first injections last Friday and obviously had a bit of a rough time for a couple of nights but seems to be back to her normal self now although she doesn't seem to want bottles when I try to feed her with a bottle formula milk? She has been like this since Friday she either has just an ounce and then just refuses to drink anymore and spits it out and cries until I breast feed her or she just will point blank refuse the bottle I don't know what to do because she won't settle with anyone not even dad when he tries bottle feeding her she will just cry until I have her and I breast feed her so she just seems to not want bottles anymore since that Friday and I don't know why??

So then just breastfeed her, is that an option?

Yes of course I don't mind doing that it's not that I don't want to just breastfeed it's that she's been having both for 10 weeks now she only seems to want to be breastfed I was just curious if anyone had an idea why all of a sudden she doesn't want bottles anymore and if shes getting enough compared to how much she's been having?

To be honest babies change every day, they're a bit unpredictable like that! If you're able to bf then keep going. Your supply changes according to how much baby feeds so don't worry at all about how much she's getting, it can't be measured in the same way. Wet nappies and weight gain are the best ways to know she's getting enough. Maybe try reintroducing a bottle in a week or so?

Yes that is true, I will defiantly carry on breastfeeding as she had taken so well to it from the start I was just abit worried about her losing weight by not having bottles like she was she seems perfectly happy but just gets herself in a state when my partner tries to feed her a bottle or me even. Maybe I will give the bottles a break and see how she gets on then try again like you said Thankyou:)

My son is 20 weeks 90% of the time he will fuss and refuse a bottle from me and especially at night time. But will usually take it from my husband or my mum
