Won’t take a bottle - 15 weeks old
I am exclusively breastfeeding & have pumped milk that is in my freezer for if my husband ever wants to feed our son. Problem is, my son won’t take a bottle. He is 15 weeks on Saturday.
Anyone else have this problem?
He chews the teat rather than sucking it.
My baby won’t take a dummy either. I am his human dummy.

Neither of my babies have taken a bottle or cup of milk no matter what I’ve tried. Some babies just don’t x
We're the same... our baby is 11 weeks and refused a bottle and dummy early on. We tried to express milk for my partner to do at least 1 bottle feed a day with no luck.... secretly though, I absolutely love breastfeeding our girl, it's always such a lovely moment and when she looks up at you with her big eyes and gives a grin it just totally melts my heart
Have you checked for high lipase? May just be your baby’s preference but I remember having the same problem after creating a big stash and realising I was one of the unlucky mums! X
I also have exactly the same issue and my boy is also 15 weeks on Saturday so I'm afraid I'm mainly here for solidarity! Hope you manage to crack it soon!
No advice just to say your not alone, i’m having the same thing with my little girl who’s 14 weeks & feeling very stuck 😞 x
Lansinoh bottles are meant to be good! Mine also refused frozen milk because of high lipase, it changes the taste!

Breastfeeding
I am currently combi feeding but wanting to just go to formula, is it okay for me to completely stop breastfeeding or could I express a couple of time a day and just give him a bottle? I’m unsure on what’s the best way to go about it but I want to try and completely cut out putting him on the breast if possible if I can?

Transitioning from next to me crib to cot
My little girl is 6 months old and needing to move out of her next to me to a cot but she HATES the cot. Any tips or do we just have to wait it out until she gets used to it? She loves sleeping on her side and could hold on to the edge of the next to me but obviously can’t do that in a cot which I think is what’s causing her a lot of upset 🥺
