Yea ordered the emulait ! Hoping that’s a winner - I leave the room when my husband tries with the bottle, and a lot of the nipple confusion I read was about the boob. I’ve been googling like crazy. Thanks for the help!
Evenflo was also on this order !
You might benefit from working with an IBCLC on this. They’re experts on infant feeding. I think it’s a little unusual for a 2 week old to refuse bottles. I’m not sure continuing to try different bottles will have the result you’re hoping for, though I could be wrong. Locally, I’ve seen this feeding specialist IBCLC recommended: https://jillrabin.com I’ve seen this IBCLC recommended by a few folks on Reddit specifically for bottle refusal: https://www.rachelobrienibclc.com/bottle-refusal/
Lansinoh, Evenflo, and Pigeon are the bottles I’ve seen recommended most for breastfed babies
It’s a pretty common thing and it happened with my children too. I think it’s called nipple confusion. I also tried tons of bottles and it was a no go. I would say try to find a bottle that has a similar structure to a actual nipple. Maybe even have your partner try feeding her. Because she can smell your milk and she won’t want a bottle if the thing she really wants is right there. It takes a lot of work and it can definitely be a struggle but don’t give up! Once baby is hungry enough she might give it a go. Best of luck 🤞🏽
