destineebabyyyy

So I'm starting school and my baby doesn't like the bottle . She only likes it when the milk is super fresh after I pumped and warmed up perfect . She won't take the freezed milk . Her doctor said she can start eating food but will the be enouf for her ? She's 5 months . I've tried to give her bottle with the frozen milk for 9 whole hours my hubby said she would not eat at ALL I don't know what to do . Someone told me if I give ther the bottle long enough she will start to like it . Sorry if I'm confusin

My LO was the same until I let others feed him with the bottle is it possible you could go in another room and let DH try?

No I went out of town and was gone hot 9 hours and my baby waited till I came home the most she will eat is 2 oz of fresh milk but non of the frozen . And I feel like a few bites of solids won't keep her satisfied

Breastmilk/formula should be the majority of nutrition until a year old so definitely keep trying!! Have you tried the frozen milk? Sometimes if the lipase level is high it gives it a soapy taste and most babies won't take it.

Maybe try a sippy cup?
My baby girl wont take a bottle AT ALL but it seems like she likes the sippy cup, although she makes a bit of a mess.

I agree with @ksimon23 that you may have a lipase issue if it's just frozen milk she rejects - sniff the thawed milk for a soapy smell.  If it does smell soapy, that's probably the problem.  You can scald the fresh milk before freezing it to avoid that taste for her.  Google lipase issues in breast milk for more info on it.
