How to Get a Baby to Take a Bottle


First time posting in here. I hope I'm in the right place. I have a 10 week old baby. I started him on a bottle at 4 weeks. He took any bottle like a champ until week 9. Our mistake was only giving him one bottle a week and now he refuses to take any bottle. We've tried Avent, Dr.Brown, Spectra, Como Tomo, Life factory, etc. We've tried fast nipple flow and slow ones. I don't think it's the bottles or the nipples. He's a breast fed baby and only wants to feed on the real nipples. We've been bottle training him lately because he will eventually have to go to daycare. Today is the third day and it seems like things are getting worse. We've reserved about 4+ hours a day where we only give him a bottle and he hates it. Any advice? Should I go cold turkey and only give him bottles until he gets it? He seems to be okay with the Avent bottles now but only after hours and hours would we be able to give him 2 ounces over 4+ hours. Daddy is completely exhausted and Mommy feels bad for baby. If you have stories of your own on how you got through this I would love to hear. If you have any tricks that would be great. Thanks for listening. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2NPUzVx
