My baby also wouldn’t take the bottle - we are still BF at 18 months, but not as often. It’s tough going for sure, lots of pressure on you as mama. Might it be a sleep regression with your 5 month old? We had one at 8 months which was brutal and I was feeding 8 times a night but it did pass and settle. Not saying that’s the right choice for you but we tried and failed to get baby also having some expressed in a bottle so it didn’t work for us, so just wanted you to know if it doesn’t work out with a bottle then it can work out ok - solidarity with you mama x
We kept trying with the mam bottle and we found that once she was weaning (eating) at 6 months she was more willing to accept the bottle it had to be my partner and I had to be out the room at first
I exclusively breast fed for first 6 months and I still breast feed and plan to do so until 2 years atleast. Initially it was daunting for me as I couldn’t bare the pain, but I’m glad that I didn’t stop as it’s the most intimate connection I can have with my baby which will benefit her in the long run.
I’m in the same position too. EBf and still waking in the night for boob 🥹
My little one is 19mths and we are still breastfeeding. She won't give it up and it is purely for comfort. I would love to stop but she just isn't ready. I'm going to wait until she is two and has a better understanding
