Advice needed!

My daughter is going to be 6 months old next week, and since she was born she has been taking bottles. She had ALWAYS had troubles latching and always fights eating but this week it’s gotten horrible, she’s barely eating. She’s been sooo cranky and she’s literally been screaming since 5 and it’s 7:05 now 🫠 it’s been like this for a week now. We can’t get her to see a doctor until sept 18th, but im not even sure how to explain this? Like she’s hungry and wants to eat but doesn’t want to take a bottle at all. We’ve spend hundreds of dollars on bottles and she doesn’t like any of them. Any advice? Did anyone go through something like this? *yes we’ve tried different nipples, yes we’ve tried different brands. She’s not happy either way.

Could it be a bottle aversion? One of my kids had this and I had to feed him asleep 🫠

How is the milk prepared? Is it in the fridge after pump, frozen then defrosted?

Sorry to hear you’re experiencing this. Have you tried having her checked for a tongue tie or lip tie?

@DAYSH she drinks formula. we’ve given her it warm, cold and room temp. she only likes cold but then throws it up 2 mins later

@Kamara (Kam) I think she has a lip tie, no tongue tie! Not sure if a lip tie would cause this

What brands have you tried? @Trinity

@Lana Philips, Dr Browns, Mam and Boon

I know these are expensive but this is the only one that worked for my baby @Trinity https://www.babybunting.com.au/product/pigeon-softouch-wn3-bottle-ppsu-2pk-240ml-124688?istCompanyId=e136afe6-fe62-489b-abc8-c9de17deb6b8&istFeedId=82d466cf-4ae1-474b-8ca8-9866c775bb45&istItemId=rwwqqtqra&istBid=t&cq_src=google_ads&cq_cmp=21220668890&cq_con=&cq_term=&cq_med=pla&cq_plac=&cq_net=x&cq_pos=&cq_plt=gdp&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwiuC2BhDSARIsALOVfBLv1UElXIGo4_NhJHhO0erkl32LI4xRgZiwUtG_a__bZLJrdZCTaCEaAsjSEALw_wcB

@Trinity sounds like she is not handling the formula well. Are you nursing as well or pumping?

@Casey just formula! She’s been on this brand since she was 4 weeks old and she’s now 6 months

@Trinity sorry I misunderstood cause you said latching. I have no advice sorry

I think it’s cause she’s teething also, have you considered trying solids? She might be ready

@Maureen we’ve been doing rice cereals with a small mixture of purées since she was 5 months old! She loves it

Great !! Try giving her some , she might eat and sleep

I’d try a cup or weighted straw if nothing else works
