Do you have trouble getting your EBF baby to take a bottle

Question

Answer

What's ebf?

Answer

My 5 week old will not take a bottle... Any advice? We have tried 3 different types of bottles and 4 different nipples. I've tried a cool bottle and also tried giving him freshly expressed breast milk... Help!

Answer

We struggled for a while but we just persevered and she switches easily between bottle and breast now. If your baby is screaming at the teat take it away and soothe them before trying again, don't offer the breast straight away after because then they know they will be offered the breast so they don't see the point in trying with the teat. Also maybe try being out of the house and try get someone else to for them the bottle? That however didn't work with us, at first she was only happy taking the bottle from me. Also if baby is just chewing the teat that's fine, let them play with it a little to get used to it being in their mouth :) good luck
