Any success getting baby to take a bottle?

My son refused a bottle until around 4 months. Just as you described i tried pretty much everything and so many different types of bottles but he kept refusing. I got very sick out of nowhere and had to go to the emergency room. I was unable to feed him as I was so sick that day. He was so hungry that he took the bottle. He has been taking it ever since that day. Theres been times he refused it due to temp of milk/temp of nipple on bottle. I found making sure the nipple is slightly warm and milk is at perfect temp helped significantly in getting him to accept it. Hope you are able to have some success soon!

I swear I am 1000% not a corporate plant but have you tried mōmi bottles?

They worked great for us! Baby liked them because he could clamp down with his mouth to stop the milk like he did with the boob—regular bottles will squirt and be weird when he does the same sucking motions he used at the breast! The weirdness freaked him out, he was NOT a fan.

It’ll eventually work out though, babies are made to adapt! They resist it because you’re doing everything right and you made them feel so safe. It could help to have dad try to lead the bottle brigade too, sometimes they won’t take bottles from mommy because they know you have the goods!

EDIT (sorry just remembered this): we also did bottle feeds while doing skin to skin for a few days at first, then switched to skin to skin right after the bottle-feed! Idk if your consultant recommended that but sometimes babies need to know that they’re not losing that special physical closeness with you, it’s just a new way to eat! You’ve got this!

My mom aka Grammy finally cracked the code with my son. The milk had to be the perfect temp and then when he was sleepy, she rocked him with the bottle while patting his bum. He always nursed to sleep, so the sleep association helped.
It can for sure be stressful! Good luck!

Might not be the bottle. Babies are smart they usually won’t take bottle from booby I mean as soon as they go on us we smell like mum, we smell like boob. Go out, leave the house. Have someone else give bottle. My baby usually took bottle from hubby but not from me unless he’s already had his feed and I’m just topping him up w ebm (he was such a slow gainer, I topped him up w milk/letdown I caught from Hakaa) Have your partner give bottle but make sure you leave they can also sense us in the room. And we were using the disposable hospital bottles for about 3m, midwife gave me a bagful so it was like the cheapest bottle out there lol
