Its now been 4 weeks of bottle training my lo. She just as stubborn now as she was the first day! If not worse. Some days it only takes 5 minutes of crying to get her to take it & somedays it takes all day to get her to take one bottle! Today for example..I bf during the night. The last time she bfed today was 10:30am when she woke up. Its now 5:35pm and she still hasn't eaten! Everytime I try she just cries and cries until she falls asleep. I know for a FACT that it has nothing to do with the kind of bottle! I know this because she will drink water instantly from a bottle. No problem..no fight..NOTHING! But nothing else without a fight. Breastmilk..formula..she isn't having it! I just dont get her!!

    Im sure you have probably tried but s she any better if someone other than you feeds her? Maybe because she can smell your milk thats why she rejects the bottle, she wants it on tap not bottled because she knows the real stuff is so close

    @tinka1326 yep.. Her dad tries. & she got passed around to about 4 family members today & she still fought it! Shes a mess.

    Hmmm... If she takes the water well maybe try watering your bm down a little... Apart from that Im out of ideas then if you have already tried switching bottles...
  • jamieeexjamieeex
    The only suggestion I have is wean her on the bottle from water to bm. I know I.ts hard because they shouldn't have too much water but.try fixing a 2 oz bottle with 1/4 bm then 1/2 then 3/4 and so on.

    @jamieeex omfg I think it worked! I have to admit I was skeptical of your idea at first. Lol but only because it seems every idea that seems good to me..never goes over with her. Lol. But.as I was pumping I looked down at the bottle and realized(well actually paid attention too) that when my milk first lets down and comes out that its really watered down. THAT is why she likes drinking water so much but not straight bm. The water reminds her of my bm when she first gets it. So I decided to water down the bm a little(I know..it was your idea..ill give you the credit.Lol) But it worked!!!! Now I wont get my hopes up because she seems to like to get my hopes up and then rain on my parade. But I'm very optimistic. Cant wait for her to get hungry again!!

    Im glad something is maybe going to work and things are looking up. I was going to suggest maybe feeding her closer together and not waiting hntil she is all the way hungry. I know I read before that the longer they wait the more upset they get about it and it becomes harder to get them to eat. They get so hungry and upset that alls they want to do is cry even once you get them their food.
