My daughter is 13 weeks & is EBF! I planned to breastfeed and since day one we have had an amazing experience. I held out on giving her a bottle to avoid nipple confusion but here we are 13 weeks and now she's refusing to take a bottle! I feel like I shouldn't have ever started and just started her on bottles! How can I go back to work knowing she's not on a bottle 😔
I could be going out on a limb here but I've heard a couple stories of BFM who have had to use nipple guards to breast feed due to the difficulty of latching, cracked nipples or other complications & after a while , their baby would only take bottles & not the boob .. otherwise theres a bottle called "Munchkin Latch" my daughter whos a strict boobie girl didnt fight as hard to take. maybe try google, pinterest or maybe your pediatrician has some ideas?? Hope you find something that helps! good luck.
@rileysmommy, she might be a baby that will only take boobies
I have tried tommee tippee, avent, playtex, Dr. Browns, mam and some others! She hates it! And I have left her for 2 hours before and she refused to eat the whole time. I have been told to keep leaving her and eventually she will take it but i don't feel comfortable doing that knowing my baby is hungry
Have you tried different kinds of bottles? My daughter is extremely picky when it comes to bottles. She will only take tommee tippee and avent ones
Short Luteal Phase?
I've just started temping because I believe that the reason I haven't had a BFP yet, after 20 months, is because I believe I may have a Luteal Phase Defect.

Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?
Starting TWW. Anyone else?
I had a stillborn daughter at 38 weeks this passed Nov. This is my second month ttc. (Last month we only tried for like two weeks though). My last and only pregnancy, I got pregnant the first month of ttc so I hope it's quick this time again.
I don't know if this works for everyone but my son is breastfed and since day one I made sure once a day he ate out of a bottle. It was hard at first and he hated it. But now he's ok with both. He obviously loves the boob more but he's ok with a bottle. Try that.
