Mamas I need help! My 2 month old doesn’t wanna take his bottle I just EBF but I am trying to introduce him to a bottle and he just doesn’t take it. Wat can I do or wat should I do I’ve already tried 3 different bottles 😩
It can take a while. Have someone other than you give the bottle and try squeezing a little milk into his mouth so he knows he can get milk from it. It took several weeks to transition my son to a bottle when he was a newborn. But he did great and I went back to work at 4 months.
Best wishes! My dd2 refused anything but breast (for fluids)until she was 15 months. We tried when she was 5 months for an entire weekend to get her to take the bottle, but she would not, and she was too little for food yet. I went back to work when she was 13 months and she would get some constipated bc I had to be gone for 3-6 days and dh would have to use a syringe to give her milk to hydrate her and then she would absolutely nurse like a crazed and starving animal when I got home. She would eat food but would not take a bottle or sippy. When she finally did it was much to our relief. I thought I was going to have to quit to be home with her. Does she take a pacifier? If so you can use a bottle nipple and medical syringe to feed her through the open side of a nipple. When she suckles you squeeze the liquid through the open side. Hope this helps!!!
