Reintroducing Breastfeeding

Hi!

My little boy is 4 months and was combi fed, never had an issue with taking bottle or breast. A few weeks ago I went through a really stressful time and my milk supply dropped, we also started using MAM bottles from Dr Browns which have a teat less like the nipple (only changed due to being quicker to sterilise). Now my baby won’t go on the breast! I keep trying but he will only take a bottle.

I’m really angry at myself for not continuing and really want to resume breastfeeding, I’ve tried nipple shields, doing it when he’s sleepy/calm and it works for about 5 seconds!

Has anyone had this issue? If so, how did you get baby to resume breastfeeding?

TIA
