six weeks, won’t take bottle

SJ

My baby is six weeks and we can’t get her to take a bottle. We have tried different bottles with different nipples and different flows, but I don’t think that’s the issue. She won’t even put it in her mouth - as soon as it touches her lips, she starts to scream. We have tried warming the nipples and dipping them in breastmilk, but it doesn’t help. We have tried when she’s hungry, when she’s not hungry, when she’s awake and happy, and when she’s tired. Nothing works.

I really need her to take a bottle. My husband has been trying every day for almost two weeks. What do I do??? I have to leave her for a few hours on Monday, and I’m starting to worry. Help!!
