How to get baby to take a bottle?
My breastfed baby used to take a bottle so well. She had always been mostly breastfed but my husband would give her a bottle at night, and if my mom babysat her she could give her a bottle. Now, within the last couple of weeks she has absolutely refused a bottle and will scream until I give in and breastfeed her. I need her to take a bottle or I’m going to be the one screaming soon 😅😂

Im in exactly the same position and my 3 month old does exactly the same.... its stressing me out because I've had to go back to work so when she is with anyone else she will scream until she exhausts herself and basically starve til I get home (only ever a max of 5 hours away from her but still, that's not ideal)
get the phillips avent natural bottles they are supposed to immitate a breast and that might help!
I had the exact same issue, only thing that worked for me was getting him to latch on breast, letting him feed for about 30 seconds and then slowly unlatch whilst putting the bottle teat in his mouth and he would keep sucking and finish the bottle x
I recommend you to use nipple shield so baby gets use to the texture to take the bottle and pacifier
