Okay. So I'm exclusively breastfeeding & I just started school last week so she goes to head start . Before i started school i fed her with the bottle every now and then so she can start getting used to drinking from the bottle. She was doing good. And when I went to school it seemed like she was doing good. Until this weekend I tried feeding her from a bottle but she WILL NOT take it . She throws tthe biggest fit ever . my mother In law my boyfriend and a couple other people tried to give her the bottle but she doesn't take it she doesn't stop crying until I give her my boob. If I dont give her my boob she will not eat until I do. i dont see how the people from head start do it to make her drink from THE bottle .I even tried switching bottles and nipples nothing seems to help . Anyone know what I can do ? . And I notice ever since she started Head start and shes been drinking from the bottle she's been more gassy and has collic. Could it be cause of the bottles?

@dashhaberdash, he was running outside and tripped :( it's super common for it to happen that way if it's not clipped when they're little. I would definitely recommend getting it clipped now if you can. There's a lot of bottle/latch/nursing/gassy issues that would have been alleviated had we known sooner.

@kmally, fall!!!??? Like an accident? Im fighting to get my sons clipped. He's 3 weeks, i wanna get it over with before it becomes a problem. He nurses and takes a bottle fine but I'm nervous about it.

@dashhaberdash, by the time we found his he was "too old" for the places I could take him to get it clipped. They said if he didn't fall and tear it by the time he was 4 they would clip it. And sure enough around 15 months he fell and tore it! :'(

@kmally, did you get your sons clipped? My son has a tongue and lip tie

You can talk to your ped about it getting clipped. It can help with her latch :)

It's just extra skin connecting their lip and gumline. My guy had one and he didn't latch right onto a bottle so he clicked and chugged a lot but he was a champ breastfeeding.

It could be. She might be gulping/eating faster with the bottle. Sounds like she just misses mommy :) <3 She wants all the mommy time she can get on weekends so she wants it fresh from the tap lol.
