Refuse to drink from bottle

taste horrible in what sense? is it cuz of the rancid smell/iron-ish taste?

Good that it works for you, once she gets used to the mix, decrease the amount of chilled EBM.
Ok. I forgot what it tasted like but when i taste it, i feel like vomiting.. Maybe i shall try again tonight..

juz to share, my ds3 (alrdy 17 mths old) oso refuse to drink from bottle since infant... he oni wan to latch on...

when i went for haircut n was out for 5 hrs, he practically waited for me to get home b4 he drank... dh tried to feed him ebm in bottle but he cried n refuse... so poor thing... luckily he's alrdy on solids so he ate solids while waiting for me to get home...

now i'm basically waiting for him to wean off bf... i haven't had a good nite sleep since he was born (cos he usually wakes up a few times every nite to bf)... but at least i get to feed him lying down...

Hehe...yr dear son misses the bonding session with you lah :)

My son also woke up in the nite to have his feeds, I tried lying dw to bf him but not successful... hw do you do it? Does the breast size matter?? cos bigger boobs make lying dw to bf easier...IMO :)

My boy kept waking up at 4 months old, every 1-2 hours and nearly drove me nuts, so we co-slept since and i latch him on lying down so that I can sleep. My boobs are among the tiniest on Earth, so boobs size does not matter. I think baby size matters -- it was easier to feed lying down togeher when he was bigger (though he was already born quite big).

I use my arm to support his neck (like his pillow). If need to switch side, just slide his tummy across my tummy, super convenient. After some months, he could wriggle and crawl his way to the next side, even in the middle of the night, quite amusing. :)

my girl, 3 months, totally refuse bottle n pacifier too. she prefer cry until fall asleep rather than drink from a bottle. I have tried tommee tippee,nuk,etc.
she can drink from bottle from born till 2 months.
In the night, she can't sleep without bf.
last time, i leave her to work, she crying a lot n just drink 10 ml for 5 hours
now, i decide quit from my job n stay with her at home
but still panic find nursery room when we take a walk to mall ;-D

why not just buy nursing tops and invest in a nursing cover? then no need to hunt for nursing room, can just breastfeed anywhere. i don't own any nursing cover; i just use a nappy cloth or my shawl as cover.

I wished I had the confident to do that. I had used shawl but afraid that if I'm not careful will exposed my busts :shyxxx:

I breastfeed exclusively. I latch whenever I am with my boy. If I need to go for massage or facial or movie, I will leave a bottle of ebm with my Hubby or mummy to stand by in case baby gets hungry before I return. But then again I am seldom away from my baby for more than 4hr. I won't want to be away too long n not be able to pump nor latch as too much of it wil affect milk supply. As for haircut, it takes a short time. I hv not coloured or highlighted my hair for a long time. :)

My son did not use bottle at all and is also a tbf baby. I tried every bottle n teat in the market but nope, didn't work. I am a FTWM and for feeds of ebm, he was syringe-fed or spoon-fed till he turned 5mths. He took to the spout cup then so this problem was resolved.

For bf in public, just need to be thickskinned. :tlaugh:I also walked ard while bf my son in the sling. If you are worried abt exposure, get a nursing poncho, those type that has a hole for you to insert your head through and covers you from neck to waist at least.

every baby is different, so your baby might respond better to spoon-feeding. dun worry abt it prematurely. solve one problem at a time. =>
