Baby refuses bottle
Anyone else’s baby refuse to take a bottle ? We gave the little guy a few bottles here and there but he’s mostly been exclusively breastfed . He now refuses any and all bottles . I don’t know what to do because nobody can really watch him because he refuses to drink anything . Help!
I'm worried about that with my daughter. She has only had one bottle and that was when I went to my sons graduation. I was only gone for two hours and since then she's only had the breast exclusively. Next month I go back to work so I'm wondering how that's going to play out.
My girl wouldn't take a paci or bottle till 6 months. As soon as I put something in her mouth she would start vomiting bad. She had tongue tie and a high palate. I tried a few bottles and that didn't help. Eventually her gag reflex calmed down and she started drinking about an ounce out of a bottle at 5ish months. To help I made sure to use very warm milk and only try to bottle feed when she was very hungry. When she was too hungry the bottle made her angry and if she wasn't hungry enough she would just chew on the nipple. Once she started taking a bottle I made sure to keep giving her at least one a day. At 6 months she started taking one easily and gets 1 bottle a day. It doesn't seem like it should be so hard but you can't force them to drink. You just have to be patient, keep offering, and find the best time to do it.
My boy used to love formula but now he refuses to drink, before seven month usually drank almost 1000ml, now being 8month but drink only 600ml, I have no idea
