4 month old refusing bottle
« on: November 28, 2005, 14:24:02 pm »
my little boy has refused a bottle (and paci) since he was 2 months old.  I have tried every nipple on the market, BM only, formula only, a combo, etc. and nothing has worked.  He is a large baby and is on the breast 24/7.  Any advice would help!

Hi

Have you tried the Haberman feeder? They're more expensive than normal teats/nipples but are great for BF babies.

love
Marie

I've had the same trouble with my lo.  I got the Haberman yesterday and am going to try it (hopefully) tomorrow and then all day at the sitters on Thurs.  I'll let you know if I have any success with it.  I know it's frustrating-I've tried every nipple/bottle, I've thickened to nectar and honey consistency thinking that was the problem and nothing has worked.  This is my final attempt!

Just wanted to let you know that I have given my DD feeds with the haberman for the last 2 days and the world truly is a better place:)!  The Haberman has worked like a dream-it was worth every last cent!!!!  Hope you find something that works for you, but I definitely recommend trying the Haberman!
