3mo old refusing bottle from everyone except mom.
« on: December 03, 2014, 04:07:49 am »
My LO started doing this at 2 months. I am at my breaking point! My DH had not been able to help with middle of the night feedings. I also go back to work in 3 weeks and nana will be watching him. I've tried everything I can think of to stop this behavior. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Will he take a feed if you aren't around? Are you offering breastmilk or formula in the bottle? If you are offering formula and you haven't tried I would try staying away while someone tries to feed him as if he can smell you and milk a bottle of formula is just not a great option!

Have a look at these links, there will be something there you can try.

Breastfed babies and bottles

A bottle (or more!) a day…  Mixed breast and bottle feeding

HTH!
