Bottle Refusers. . Come In

JWSchwarz

I have read a bunch of posts lately about babies that refuse bottles. My DS is one of them. I went back to work on Tuesday and he is still not taking a bottle consistently (1 oz in a 6 hour day). I am not ready to give up the fight yet, so let's hear all of the things you have tried (especially if they have worked)!

A few things that seem to have helped us:

- I pulled the bait and switch (nurse then pull him off and stick the bottle in his mouth). I got him to take 2 oz last night. I know he knew it wasn't me but he was hungry and his cuddle needs were being met so gave in. 

- Feeding him while he's in his swing with the mobile turned on so he's distracted 

-  Either Tommee Tippee or Platex Drop In Latex Nipple seem to work best

So, let's hear what is working for you. . .
