Help! Baby is refusing bottle!

in July 2015 Moms
After taking a bottle a day like a champ for the past month, my child has decided he will NOT drink from a bottle anymore. This is a big problem because I'm going back to work on Monday! I have tried a bottle of all formula, all breast milk, I have tried giving it to him, my husband has tried, my MIL... He's just not having it.

I nursed him last night at 2am and he hasn't eaten and it's now 8am. That's 6 hours... I know he's hungry!

I'm not sure how we have taken a huge step backwards here... Any suggestions?

    My baby gets picky about which type of bottle we give her. Some days she will drink from anything and other days she makes her opinion known (very loudly). You could see if a different bottle would work.

    People might throw rocks at me for saying this but you could put some gas drops on the nipple, they have a faint sweetness that your LO might enjoy.

    Maybe try a different bottle. What is LO using right now? In another discussion other mommas suggested tommee tippe and comotomo.

    I've tried 3 different bottles. Tommie tippee, dr Browns and munchkin latch. He's been using latch without any problems. Maybe we need a new one now?

    My little one didn't take any bottles so we bought the Comotome bottles which are super similar to the breast. They sell them in Amazon. And that does happen, some days he prefers Tommie Tippie and other the Comotome. Hope this helps! Good luck! ;)

    Thanks y'all! He took 2 bottles from hubby today, but I had to go on a walk! I guess he is just going to demand the boob when it's near him! I'll go buy some nipples and new bottles just in case!

    I read baby can smell momma up to 10' away. Your LO just knew you were there!

    I personally don't use these, but this nipple seems to mimic the shape of the breast and gets great reviews on Amazon. It's called the Minbie Teat. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B011NC36TA?vs=1
