Help!!!

My 7.5 week old daughter is EBF and she won't take a bottle or a pacifier. She nurses all day long. I can't do anything without her screaming. Does anyone have any tips?

You have to twist the bottom because that opens up too.

Thanks I'll try the Mams. I used a sample bottle with my son and it was so leaky. I might have better luck this time.

I was having the same problem. I tried so many different bottles and she didn't like any of them until I gave her the mam bottle.. it's the only one I can get her to drink out of when I need a break from her being on my boob. I bought the mam pacifier to try after she drank out of the bottle and she'll suck on it longer then any other pacifier.

Ya EBF in no joke! I struggled so much with my first and had such a low supply and he was on formula by 3months. This time supply is good so far and she feeds well but man it's still rough! I can't wait until she establishes a schedule.

We are having a problem also having him drink from a bottle. We finally got him to drink 2 ounces from a bottle. We had to heat my milk to body temperature for him to drink it

I'm glad someone finally said it. I'm 8 weeks in ebf and I LOVE the closeness with my son and am proud that I am literally the only thing that has sustained his life since conception. However. Ebf has been miserable when it comes to pain. Sometimes I wish I never started because now I feel obligated to stick it out. I mean I've gone this long why quit now. We have had private lactation consultants and breastfeeding support groupss and a lip & tongue tie revision with no relief. Why did no one tell me it would be this hard.

Dad tried giving her a bottle when I was in the shower and she wouldn't take it. We also tried the pinky trick and that only lasted about 10 seconds. Sometimes I wish I never started breastfeeding.

DD usually just wants to soothe on the nipple that's our issue. Sometimes she's on the boob so much she projectile vomits. Midwives have suggested using your pinky finger to such on. Doesn't work for me but maybe it will work for you.

Have you tried someone else giving her the bottle and you not being in the room? My friend had to do that with her daughter

Thanks mamas. She has to be really sleepy to be in her swing or bouncer. I can wear her for a few minutes, but since she always wants to nurse I have to figure out how to nurse her in the wrap.

I'm going through the same thing. Luckily she will sleep in her bouncer at night ( swaddled and in a deep sleep). She also likes to be worn. I have a toddler so sometimes she needs to be put down and just cry for a few minutes. She will also sleep on some people but only if she's really tired.

I have no advice but wanted to let you know you're not alone

Swing? Or put her in a carrier?
