Anyone else’s babe refusing a bottle?😑

Question

We introduced a bottle to my little girl at 3.5wks. She sometimes latches on and will chug about half an ounce, then pulls away SCREAMING. She gags when we try to give it to her again. We are trying out bottle #5 tonight (Nuk) and have already tried Comotomo, Avent, Medela, & Mam. 
We have dipped the nipple in milk, each tried feeding without the other parent present, put an article of my clothing on my husband’s shoulder so he smelled like me, breastfed then quickly replaced with bottle... idk what else to do. 
I’m BEYOND frustrated. I see my freedom dwindling away the longer this baby goes without taking a bottle. Does anyone have advice??? DESPERATE

Answer

Try tommee tippee, it works really well for my LO and has great reviews on it!  The nipple really does mimic the breast and it also has a good flow to it.

Answer

We had the same problem. She took a bottle just fine every night starting at 3.5 weeks then all of a sudden around 7 weeks old she refused. We tried a bunch of different bottles. Then just gave her a break for about a week without trying, and she started taking it again.

Answer

Try the slowest flow nipple available. My son had to be on the dr brown preemie nipple for the first 2 months while my 6.5 week old daughter only took that nipple for 1.5 weeks.

Answer

Unfortunately no advice but you're not alone. Ours had a bottle introduced right away and she took it just fine until 5 weeks when she started refusing it. I have no idea why or what happened. Same as you were doing different variations to see what works and nothing really has so far. It sucks cause I was finally feeling ready to leave her for the first time and now I cant.
