Help!

in Babies: 0 - 3 Months
11week old ebf baby won't take the bottle. We had introduced it a couple weeks back and thought "yes, she knows the bottle" and we kept her ebf. Now at one more week till I go back to work she doesn't want the bottle!!! We've tried diff bottles and nip and she will take a few ounces only during the one session. Any helpful tips? P.s. Grandma/husband/sisters have tried feeding her.

    I assume you are FAR FAR away when they try to give the bottle? What about completely out of your house so she can't even smell anything familiar about you?

    You might also try feeding her a bit at the breast first, so she's not desperately hungry when you try the bottle.  In my very limited experience, trying to persuade an upset or crying baby to try something new just upsets them more.
