How did you make your bb accept a bottle of breast milk?

Hi ! I’d cut the night feedings if you’re ok with that at 5 months they can go without. Babies adapt really fast in my experience but do what feels right for you. My baby was also very very anti nipple tried so many in the end was just constant offering for like 4-5 weeks everyday at least once and like sometimes I’d leave a slow flow nipple in his mouth and me bouncing around or just heating up nipple before so it’s not cold. Try fresh expressed every time and try different nipple mam worked in the end for us. Good luck !

Try taking a look into the emulait bottle? It mimics the breast a lot more than a traditional bottle does 🤞🏻

My first liked mam cups took to them fine but my second didn’t like bottles push them away didn’t want anything with them so I did a straw cup which after some practice she took to better. I’d suggest a straw cup with a weighted straw.
This time is also temporary a lot of growth is happening now.
Also try having someone else do it not you.

You might not want to hear this, but I tried so many different bottles, positions and tactics and the furthest I ever got was she took one bottle one day when I held her and fed her at the same time in a pitch black room. Otherwise she never took it. It wasn't until she turned 1 and started having cow's milk that she actually drank any milk from a bottle, she's now 2 and she does it every night before bed

At that age I’d try with a cup rather than a bottle as it’s quite unlikely they’ll take a bottle that late on if they’ve never before x

I had that exact same worry! My little one started at 8 months and I was petrified because she barely ate any solids yet and she breastfed like every hour. It was a hard transition and I had to get home and pump knowing full well she's likely to ignore the milk, have nothing all day and then come home and breastfeed. But she was actually okay... I had so so so many worries and I very nearly didn't go back to work not being able to afford it because of how scared I was, but she was fine. She'd make it through the day on the little food she did eat and then just feed at home and over night. Then one day a switch went off and she started eating properly and actually finishing meals, stopped breastfeeding during the day even on weekends and only fed at night. Now she no longer breastfeeds and she finishes every meal that's put infront of her, no matter what's in it x

Try getting your partner or someone else to give it the first few times, when you're not there and baby is not hungry yet. Helps to get them used to it.
