Breastfeeding & bottle feeding

my daughter doesn't want to drink from her bottle she just wants to be breastfeed, I'm starting college in a month & my daughter is five weeks. I'm worried & I don't know how I'm going to do it. I'm a first time mommy! I give her bottle but she just spits the milk lol. When I breastfeed her she just wants to be latches on but falls asleep & I'm not sure if she gets enough but she poops & pee's enough?

    Make sure that you have the bottle at an angle where the nipple is pointed at the roof of baby's mouth - that is how they latch and suck. Try squeezing the nipple a little to get a drop on the tip so she can taste it in her lip. Do some research on paced bottle feeding - if she is just spilling milk out of her mouth it may be coming too fast for her. Also, sometimes babies just won't take a bottle from mama because they Know better, haha. Is there someone else you could have help you? She may take a bottle more willingly if you are not there when it's being offered. Good luck!!
