Refusing bottle and food

Liyah • 💛Mama of three💛

My son is refusing to take a bottle. He’s ebf and I’m with him majority of the time but I have a ton of frozen milk from my hakka. I’ve recently been having to be away from him for three to four hours because of appointments and my mom tried everything to get him to take a bottle while

I was gone and he refused. We have several different bottles and he wouldn’t take any of them. My boyfriend tried to give him a bottle of breast milk today and he just wouldn’t take it. No matter the flow of the nipple or what kind of bottle he just wouldn’t. But he does take a pacifier pretty well. We’ve tried getting him to use the same brand bottle as the pacifier and it didn’t work at all.

I’ve started blw and he won’t even eat. He just plays with the food and every time he gets some in his mouth he just pushes it right back out. We’ve tried yogurt and apple sauces too just to see if he’d try it and still no. It’s like he won’t eat or drink anything if it’s not straight from the breast. I bought a sippy cup for his age group and he just likes to chew on it with his gums.

I’ve looked up so many tips to get him to use a bottle and eat and I’m having zero luck. I want to get a part time job and be able to let my mom have the kids but I can’t even leave for a couple hours because he’ll just refuse the bottle and cry the whole time.

Has anyone gone through this before? I seriously need some advice or help.
