I posted this on the July board with not many responses.  DS is a chill baby who is very relaxed.  Much different from how DD was.  He is EBF and we introduced the bottle at 4 weeks.  He took it like a champ no issues.  DH or another family memeber has always been the one to give him bottles.  DH travels a lot with work and we have not been consistent with them because if I am home I just nurse him.  Well starting Saturday night ( I was out) he started refusing the bottle.  While I still plan to continue nursing I need a break.  Please, any suggestions on how to get him to take the bottle again. TIA

    Just keep trying, a baby will never allow themselves to go hungry, so if he really is hungry he'll take it any way it's offered.

    Ben did this when he was a few months old.  I had to supplement with formula and he started refusing breastmilk (that I pumped at work) in the bottles that we had, even though he would drink the formula out of those bottles just fine.  I went out and bought a Playtex nurser bottle (w/ the drop in liners) and that did the trick.  GL!
