please mamas I'm desperate!!! I go back to work next week and my daughter still refuses a bottle!!!!! we've tried different kinds, is not the bottle it's the baby :( prior day she won't let herself starve but they've never met my stubborn baby or seen her fight and cry every time we give her a bottle. someone help!!!! I'm so stressed and worried!
When are you trying? I found that trying to introduce the bottle in the evening wasn't going to work, she was just too fussy and only wanted the boob. but during the day she would take the Playtex ones.
the nearest babies r us and target is at least an hour away lol but I'll have my husband check our Walmart tonight (its 30min away) @cocomomma
there's no one else who can fed her during the day @savannamarie
give it a try. walmlart most definitely sells it, and the good thing is they sell singke bottles for like $6. so youre not "wasting" money trying a bottle baby may not like.
OK thank you @verobaby
no I haven't @cocomomma idk if our Walmart sells them
kind of but the point my doctor made is that it was long not short like that one. i thought because my nipples are wide he needed one like it but no this long one made it easier for my son to wrap his mouth around the nipple like we would on me. @jaeparm
maybe it isn't the bottle maybe it's the nipple. my son was the same. he refused to eat from any bottle i was stressing because I worked 8 plus hours sometimes. anyways I talked to his doctor & he told me babies want simple they don't care if the nipple is shaped like this or that. he told me to use a long neck nipple, like the ones you can get off of any 3 pack of gerber or easy flow bottles. I'll send you a picture. i also had to use a medium flow because if the flow was too slow my son refused it too. maybe that could work. my son took it immediately.
i would try the comotomo they also have one called Joovy boob. maybe order both and see if she takes either one
@wiccanmommy, I'll be working evening shift so we're doing both day and evening. but yesterday I think we finally came up with a system that will work.
