This is hard. Do you want to combi or just bottle now?

Same issue here

Same here, tried 3 different brands so far and not taking anything 😅

Our baby went through a phase of not taking the bottle. We started giving it when she wasn't too hungry or overtired - so start of a wake window if possible. This helped quite a bit. We also switched to Mam bottles with the valves at the bottom.

@Katie i tried four, i think i m winning 😂 jokes apart, what can be done here

Not helpful but I read if you introduce early it’s best to keep at it as they can decide to no longer accept one if not regular unfortunately :( apart from trying various teets, different people feeding baby (not you) have you tried cup feeding? Thats an option if bottle doesn’t work.

Mine didn’t accept it at all with formula. After we decided for my partner to try with breast milk, she now accepts it but I cannot be in the same room and she only have from him. I hope this helps x

I’m there with you, he gets so upset. I’m tempted to give it up to be honest but I’d really love to be able to be to go for an evening with my friends or swimming etc which I currently can’t do. My exercise is limited to my home gym (very lucky!) and running loops around the block or park run with my husband having baby in carrier and so I can run back to feed if I need to

@Hollie combi feed just to have a night with grandparents
