8 week Bf baby refusing bottle.
« on: November 13, 2005, 22:28:08 pm »
I have read the above post but cannot see anyone who seems to have the same problem as me. My 8 week old breast fed daughter was happily taking her last feed at night from a bottle. however yesterday nad tonight she has point blank refused to take the bottle. My partner and I have been trying to get her to take a feed for the past 2 hours with no luck. Can anyone suggest anything? :(  we have tried differnt bottles, teets and positions help!

There have been several users who have posted that their baby has suddenly refused bottles. Some babies will go back to taking bottles after a few days and some continue to refuse and will only nurse.

I'm assuming you're offering bottles because you must return to work? You could try being out of the room (or house) when your dh offers the bottle. Some nursing babies will only take a bottle if mom is truly gone.
