@Hannah I do pace feeding with every feed otherwise she gets very sicky itâs just so sudden and it was just the day before I was saying I never have a problem getting her to latch. Sheâs also dropped down in her bottle feed though from 180mls to 120mls 130 if we are lucky? I donât get it My partner pointed it it has been just over a week since sheâs had her needles but up until about 2 days ago everythingâs been fine xx
Just keep trying my son went through a phase like that too for a few days to a week he just wanted the bottle I was so scared he wasnât gonna latch again too! they get confused and lazy thatâs why itâs recommended not to introduce bottles for at least 4 weeks or something until breastfeeding is established (I did wait but it still happened) Just keep giving your boob and give the bottle less. I used to spray some milk in his mouth then pop the boob in đ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł they get used to how easy it is with the bottle and they get too lazy to breastfeed since it takes a minute for your letdown to start
@Alexis I think this is whatâs happening so everytime I bottle feed now I make sure to pump aswell but Iâm still offering breast and she just will not take it xx

Sometimes babies gain a preference for the bottle because the milk comes out faster. You could try paced bottle feeding to get her back used to a slower flow. Also lots of skin to skin and encouraging her to latch might help xx
