need help. My son will not take a bottle anymore. I’ve tried doctor brown bottles, tommie tippie,…

How old is he?

@mommabear538, 2 months

@kysonandfinnleesmommy, it could be the nipple not the bottle, did you breastfeed at first and then switch to the bottle?

Yes, well I started out breastfeeding. When we went out or we at someone’s house I would use a bottle and he did great. He didn’t have nipple confusion nothing. We moved in my mother in law for a week or 2 and he mostly fed from a bottle. Once we got into our home I started nursing more and he’s been doing great but will no longer take his bottle. I’ve tried nuk, tommie tippie (that was his first bottle he did take) and dr brown. He just refuses to take a bottle.

As soon as I try a bottle he screams and then I’ll offer my nipple and he takes it right away no problem.

@kysonandfinnleesmommy, to me it sounds like he would rather just breastfeed, momma, and latch on to you instead of take a bottle. My initial concern was that he would not eat at all, but now knowing the whole story it sounds like he has a preference and you can't force him to take a bottle over breast. If your shy from latching in front of people you can excuse yourself from the room to feed or invest in a cover. I have 2 covers but rarely use them.

P.S. I'm sorry for the late response. My husband has had the phone the last few days

Well that’s a problem. I can’t be with him 24/7. I’ll have to figure something out.
