Thanks for the replies and hugs girls.
I dforgot to mention I did leave her on Friday night with DH. Her last feed was at 6:30pm and I didn't get back until 11:30. She refused to feed that whole time Apparently she screamed and screamed then went to sleep then woke up and screamed some more. I was upset at DH for not ringing me to tell me because I would've come back.
I got a call from a job I applied for this afternoon for an interview, but DH got an email about an interview today too so here's hoping I won't have to worry about it!
My daughter was the same, then I was told to try the brand "mam" and the teats worked, they also fit into avent bottles. They are much softer and thinner.
My friend had the same situation ( 4mth old, wouldn't take bottle, she was starting full time work in a week), they persevered and persevered the week before she started work and he did begin taking a bottle, he has one bottle, then gets brought into her work for a feed (obviously this won't work for everyone) and she also started him on a little bit of solid food - he's a big buddha so it just gave her hubby something else to give him. She has found it very stressful though.
Big hugs to you, mine won't even look at a bottle either and well done on exclusive BF. Good luck for DH's job xxxx
HotI- lol, they are stubborn aren't they? Thankyou Hun x
Razzyberry- thanks Hun ill definitely try that, I have avent bottles so that's awesome. Xx
Saffy- thanks Hun. I'm just so worried she won't take it and I cannot leave her screaming. I just want to keep going with exclusively bf, this is my last bub and the first bub I have been able to bf past 3 months.
I rang the aba and they said to use a cup or a dippy cup- which i think is a bit ridiculous for a just 4m old. I
Thanks for the replies and suggestions everyone, really appreciate it xxx
An open cup (like a shot glass size) or a spoon can be a way of offering fluids if bub doesn't take a bottle. Babies can 'lap' at the milk a bit like a cat. Sippy cups are tricky for even older babies to learn.
