nursing mommmiess plz read !!!!!!

My daughter is 3 months , she is exclusively breastfed,  its going awesome BUT she wont take a bottle... I tried tomme tippie, nuk, avent & she refused all . Idk what to do , today I left her with a friend for about 4 hours and she did not take a bottle she waited for me to eat ... Ugh do any of you know what I can do to take the bottle... I never go out so I haven't need a bottle but once in a while is nice to have a little break . I just can't relax if I know she won't eat without me :(

My son took Playtex. But I agree with the nipple guard. That might ease baby into getting used to the different feeling

My daughter wouldnt use any bottle besode playtex. Im assuming its because they had big nopples on the bottles.

My little girl didn't like bottles at all. The only one we ever got her to take at all though was the playtex drop in with the original brown latex nipple. There is one out now I am planning to get to try with this baby when she comes. It is crazy expensive but it is call mimijumi I believe and look and feels like a Boob. Some babies never will take a bottle and I do not suggest forcing unless you want to risk nipple confusion or refusing the breast

Try using a nipple shield first to get her used to the rubber nipple feeling. Then try the bottle again

She probably wont. My first little man never took the bottle no matter what. You deffinetly cannot force a four month old to take a bottle I can tell you that much. At six month give her a sippy cup. There is a ton of different types. Start with watered down juice and then move to milk. It will work.

Try a sippy cup. Forcing her to take a bottle os not a good idea. It could make her chainge her latch and hurt your boob

sometimes breastfed babies take better to a cup or spoon. it's more difficult, but would give you a break

Sounds horrible but force her. Put breast milk in the bottle and just let her taste it.
My son is two weeks old and doesnt like them at all. He took it once but I havent tried again.
