Baby not taking bottle
Help! My 3.5 month old baby is now refusing the bottle. He is exclusively breastfed, but yesterday I had to leave for a few hours and he refused the bottle. He would take it when he was younger, but now he just gags at the bottle! Any tips!? I tried different bottles, and the only one he took was emulate- but I hate it! He gets SO much air and kept spitting up and burping aggressively.
That happened to us and it was arguably the most stressful time for us. We went down a nipple size and actually changed bottles - from Dr. Brown wide neck to Avent natural (similar shape) Another thing I started doing was stretching out his feeds… I realized he may not actually be hungry! So now we do 2.5-3 hours (or a little more) and he now takes full feeds (5-6 oz every 2.5ish hours). Best of luck!
