My exclusively breastfed baby refuses the bottle. She's 4.5 months old and I can't ever leave her with family or a babysitter. When presented with the bottle, she screams and flips out until I start nursing her. Does anyone have any advice on how to get her to take the bottle?

In a month or so you can try giving her a cup. My son was the same way, never took to bottles but at 6m I started giving him the 360 cup & he loves it.

@cubanese she used it a lot because of the shape of her nipples. But when trying to bottle feed, she found one that matched the texture. Thank you so much. I'm still trying to get as much research about breast feeding. My first time around I was given a lot of bad advice. So now I just pay attention to my aunt who has breast fed 3 of her 5 kidsm

Thanks for the advice. I've been trying for weeks now. I'll take the dog for a walk while my husband tries with the bottle. I bought 8 different bottles in hopes that she might take different nipples. So far, no luck. Just an angry baby who only wants my boobs

@cubanese oh, it worked for my aunt. So I figured it might for her. The nipple shield had the same texture and shape as the bottle nipple

Try a nipple shield to get her use to a different texture, then when introducing the bottle, hold it close to your breast so she thinks it's coming from it
