He's 9.5mths already but I still nurse him directly cos he cannot drink from bottle/teats. Does that mean he'll never drink from bottle? I end up become SAHM cos can't leave him alone. It's my mistake also for not training him since infant. I started training when he was bout 4mth but he knew the diff already. When I give him bottle now, he'll play with it instead. Should I just give up?........sigh....:embarrassed:

Hi,

my boy's 4mths now. when i tried to introduce the bottle (Avent) to him at around 3 mths, he also rejected it ... rather violently somemore. He simply refused to drink. Then we tried a few other brands of bottle and finally he took to the NUK premium bottles. I think it resembles the human teat more. Maybe you can try that. Some of my friends also recommend the Pigeon wide neck bottle.

All the best! :Dancing_wub:

I've tried Avent, Nuk and Pigeon but they don't seem to work. He cried with AVent & Nuk. He doesn't seem to mind Pigeon but he'll just play and bite it. He'll only manage to drink 20ml after 15-20min playing. In the end I have to throw away my precious BM. Thinking of just letting him sip from the sippy cup and skip the bottle.....how???

how's your ds progress? I used Farlin ortho teats, mine is latch-on most of time but occassionally I gave him EBM using the farlin orthodentic teats when am away. So far so good, however my bb can differentiate b/w EBM and FM, coz when nanny feed him FM using the teats he drinks a little only

a very familar problem!
i went through this myself with Boo...
she has been bf from birth and then when i tried to introduce bottle when she was 4 mths old, she simply refused to take it... no matter what sort of bottles and trust me, i think i bought all the bottles there are on the market... i tried feeding her, my hubby did, my parents as well... she refused all... i was at wits end 'coz i was going back to work and din know what todo... in the end, i introduced her to sippy cup... at first she din know how to sip, but suddenly one day, she just got it and she drank her milk from the cup from then!!

so she din use bottles at all and went from breast to cup and she could drink from open cup by time she was 1 yr old on her own 'coz she's so used to using cups!

so my advice... don't worry, if your bb don't want to take the bottle, use cup! works out better in the end...
