EBF babe now refusing bottle?

in Babies: 0 - 3 Months

DS is EBF but used to get a bottle of pumped milk from DH every evening. For the past 3-4 weeks, wee one has decided to refuse the bottle. We've tried switching to drop ins, switched to a different nipple and finally ordered the uber expensive Adiri bottles, all to no avail.

What gives? He seems like he's trying to get the hang of it, but just can't. Before when he was taking the bottle, he wasn't a pro at it, but was better than he is now. Surely it can't be nipple confusion right? Please help b/c I'm going back to work on the 8th and I'm worried that LO will be hungry. :(

    did you go to a faster flow nipple ?  this is what helped my baby when he went on a bottle strike too

    DH suggested this but I was hesitant for some reason. Maybe because he wanted to poke holes in the Adiri bottles. :)

    I'm willing to try anything at this point, looks like its off to BRU for new nips for the drop ins in the morning. *cross your fingers* for us.
