Lord help me

I go back to work Sunday and I've been trying to get LO to take a bottle for six weeks now with no luck. I've bought every flippin bottle possible. I have the mOmma bottle waiting for him when he wakes up, it's my last resort! Prayers please! Poor daddy is going to have a looooong 12 hours Sunday if not.

    I've also heard that breast fed babies respond better when someone other than mom offers the bottle. I'm glad he took it for you!

    B will take the bottle best when DH mimics exactly what I do -- skin-to-skin, putting the nipple of the bottle on her top lip and letting her discover it herself, etc. and make sure it's not a nipple issue -- like too fast flowing or something. We're still using preemie nips for B.

    I was going to say the same. I have a friend who can't even be in the house if she wants her LO to take a bottle. Another has to at least leave the room and she'll still only take it from her husband.

    Ya my kid is the opposite. He's yet to take a single bottle from my DH. Lol. He even tried wearing my pajama top. With a lot of persuading he would take an oz or so from me but today was the best yet!

    I tried to bottle feed LO yesterday and she spit the milk out and wouldn't drink. I had to nurse her instead. Tricky little lady she is.
    DH has no problems at all.
