EBF baby won’t take the bottle!

Hi ladies, so my baby is EBF and she’s 7 weeks old. She’s had 2 bottles of my milk since she’s been born just to test that she will take them but lately she’s refusing. I use the MAM bottles at the moment. Has anyone else tried different bottles and found one to be better than the other? I have a few things coming up over Xmas with my toddler and friends and I need to leave the baby for a few hours at a time and it’s making me anxious that she’s now refusing the bottle.

Try minbie bottles 😊 https://minbie.co.uk/

Ours took Dr Browns but despite the whole anti colic and gas claims - he was super gassy afterwards so we stopped it 🥲

@Meryl I’ve just ordered one. Thanks for the recommendation!

@Zeynep yeah I don’t believe the whole anti colic thing… my first born was EBF and he had colic despite all the doctors saying “breastfed babies don’t usually get colic 🤦🏼‍♀️”

@Chloé Collier yeah apparently they don’t get much gas 😂😂

@Chloé Collier welcome 🤗 their dummies saved my life

Hi. My little one is 6 weeks. She wouldn’t take some bottles and loved the MAM ones. Have you noticed that shape of teat is kind of squished ? She also dribbles a lot with other bottles. So I found out when she was already a month old that she has a slight tongue tie . Mentioning as feeding expert said that explained some things we were experiencing with her. (Tongue tie meant she had to work very hard to latch onto breast and also with certain types of teats). Might be worth checking if you haven’t already x

My baby wouldn’t take minbie at all. Preferred mam. Was fine but dribbles with Tommy tippie. Was also fine with lansinoh x

Mine takes Mam bottles, but whatever bottles you use I'd suggest you try to get someone else to do it without you there, and then keep it up regularly like a bottle a day so you know she will take one. That's what I've done with both my babies and it works well.
