Breastfed baby won't take bottle??? Help

Question

Is anyone else having trouble getting their breastfed baby to take a bottle?? Reagan is 8 weeks old and has started refusing a bottle (with breast milk). She has never taken a pacifier but she would take a bottle from her dad at first. We didn't give her one for a couple of weeks and now she won't take one at all. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Answer

After 6 weeks babies get some personality and favors one over the other . And also since you went a couple weeks with out she adjusted . My lo is 6 weeks 4 days and loves breast over bottle but she will take a bottle unless she is tired . We find the tippy tommie bottle okay they are more like breast you can try those

Answer

Slowly introduce bottle, like once a day then twice a day. And make sure anything put in bottle is heated up. Just sit bottle in hot water until it warms up

Answer

Maybe a diff bottle?  I use como tomo and my 7 week old switches back and forth from breast to bottle with no issues - but I started this the week he was born - with breast milk.

Answer

We’ve been doing one feeding in the morning every day since about 3 weeks and so far she’s taking the bottle
Isn’t as big a fan if she’s fussy 
Started introducing at 2 weeks and oz at a time to make sure she liked it
No nipple confusion because we go right back to the boob the next time 
I would keep trying and do a little at a time every day so they get used to it again and slowly work up to more??

I’m having the same problem!! Baby is 8 weeks and hates pacifiers and most bottles. We just wants to be attached to me at all times lol. I’m going back to work in about 5 weeks so I need to get this sorted out quick! He gets angry when we try to give him a bottle.

Answer

If you figure something out that works, please share! My daughter is 6 weeks tomorrow and refuses the bottle as well. Every once in awhile she will take an ounce or two from my husband but I’m terrified about her having to go to a sitter full time in January. I do know my doctor said make sure that I’m not even in the same room because if she can even smell me she will refuse the bottle. It does work much better for my husband when I’m not at home.
