Had this with my first. Tried all bottles, teets, techniques. Eventually after speaking to multiple professionals their verdict was...some babies just won't take a bottle. And she never did! Just keep trying but don't beat yourself up if it doesn't happen. They'll be weaning in no time anyway 😁

Same here! Tried lots of bottles and nothing 🤦🏻‍♀️

Same. I've been trying to give her the bottle everyday even when she's refused just to expose her to it. She's ebf baby but give 1 ebm every night until she refused it..

But the problem is he doesn’t latch on the breast either so the only option is bottle and he is so fussy he keeps turning his head away. I don’t know if he’s in pain or if he just doesn’t like bottle! Going to the GP today to find out I am so worried for him 😫 I just want him to enjoy his feed

but the baby needs to drink so weren’t you worried about that?

not once weaning. We jumped to a sippy cup rather than bottle and she took it fine (no sucking action needed). Have you checked for tongue/lip tie? Could explain it not being comfortable for the LO?
