HELP! I'm desperate!

missyrad · December 2013

My 11 week old was taking a bottle a week then we stopped for one week and now she won't take it at all!
I go back to work in 7 days and we have gone through every bottle possible. We are about to try the playtex latex nipples.

What else can I do to get her to take the bottle again?????

P.s. grandma/husband/sisters have tried feeding her.

I'm following this as I have the same problem! I have tried EVERYTHING! Sorry no help!

I agree with PP. The mOmma bottles were a lifesaver for us!

Try mimicing different surrounds and settings (i.e. chairs, clothing, lighting, etc.) also adjust the temp. of the bottle up and down to see if that might be the crux.

My girl will only take the tommee tippee brand. If it's not the brand then try what Kimberly and AFwifelife suggested

Have you changed from slow flow to medium flow nipple? It helped us!

Thanks! I'm going to go shopping this tims to see if she will take it from grandma bc I was always in the room...and if it doesn't work ill try a diff bottle. Also ill look into the diff temps/nipple flow.

Well she took 2oz from grandma (only bc thats all I put in there) after that she didn't wsnt the bottle again so we will try again tomorrow.

The Enfamil disposable soft nipples were our lifesaver. We don't dispose of them, they're fine to reuse

How long did it take till your LO took a full bottle?

I would try everything else before changing nipple flow. BF babies should ideally be on preemie or NB flow. What worked for us was the lansinoh momma/natural wave nipple on a Dr Browns wide neck.
