Vent: my son won’t take a bottle

Ashley

My son is 4 months old. He has been exclusively breastfed this whole time. I was working from home so it was something I was capable of doing. I never intended for that job to be permanent because the pay was very low and the work load was very difficult. Well this was my last month working for them because as my son has grown out of the “sleepy newborn” phase, I just couldn’t keep up with the work while watching him. I need to start a new job with child care which is difficult enough as it is, but I don’t know what to do because he REFUSES to take a bottle. He just screams and screams. I’ve tried different kinds. I’ve tried different positions and different people offering the bottle. I’ve tried waiting till he gets hungry enough. Nothing works. I cant have somebody else watch my kid while I work all day if he won’t eat 😭 I just genuinely feel defeated
