My 3 month old BF baby won't take a bottle

DS has taken bottles before but for the past two weeks he's refused them. We've tried going up in nipple level but it hasn't helped. We are using Born Free bottles, and I EBF. Once in a while I would like to get out of the house for longer than a couple of hours. Any suggestions??? What has worked for you?

    Sorry, no suggestions, but my local LC says it's not uncommon for babies to go through phases like that.  Most babies she's seen eventually go back to the bottle.

    DS hates the bottle, but like you we like to be able to go out and feed him at like a restaurant or when we are at church.We have found that eventually he takes it because he is hungry.

    I'm hoping it's just a phase and he'll take a bottle again soon... should I keep trying to give him one every day?

    We're going through the exact same thing. DS used to take the occassional Born Free bottle with no problem, but now that I am going back to work in 2 weeks he refuses all bottles. He took Dr. Browns ok one day and I bought an Adiri (looks like a boob). He has the same response to all of them. Nope! He even looks insulted that you tried! It would be kinda funny if it didn't stress me out so much.

    We're going to try to give him a bottle a day after he wakes up from his morning nap (if I'm not wearing him). As soon as he wakes up I'll get out of sight and MH will try giving it to him.
