My baby Skylar easily took to the bottle when she was 5 weeks old. I breastfed her as well as offered her two feeds of formula per day. She is now 8 weeks old and completely refuses the bottle. I know that the formula's not the problem as I expressed breast milk as well - and she refuses that too. Please help if you had this problem. I will be returning to work shortly and I need to get her to take the bottle before she gets into day care.
My thought are maybe your nipple is not the right size!! They do come in many sizes and if the milk is too hard for your daughter to get any out maybe she won't take it!! Just keep trying eventually she has to get it!!
try another kind of nipple sometimes that is the problem. i had the same problem with my kids you have to find the nipple the baby will like and take .
I bought another shape teat yesterday - basically its shaped like a nipple and alot softer. It seems to be working so far. She's had two feeds since and I'm hoping that she doesnt give me any hassles. Thank you ladies for the suggestions.
I could really use the camera, I am doing my student teaching in January and we have to have all of our porfolio on a dvd I could use the camera to take the pictures and put it on a disk.
