Transcript:
Maybe you never got around to introducing a bottle or you were too busy getting breastfeeding on track. Or, you didn't see the point of offering a bottle since you could always count on your baby and your breast being in the same place at the same time, or close enough that you'd never miss a feed. Or, you figured you'd get around to introducing a bottle when you needed to, and you just realized, you need to. Either because you're going back to work or trying to schedule your first date night in months, or both.
If you're lucky, your little suckler will take to the bottle like an old friend, eagerly lapping up the contents. Or he may stubbornly snub the bottle crying indignantly every time you push the nipple between his unwilling lips, refusing even a taste.
Sound familiar? Let's face it, your baby wasn't born yesterday, and unlike a relative newcomer, she's already developed a strong sense of what she wants and what she doesn't want. What she wants is mommy's soft, warm nipple. What she doesn't want, synthetic substitute you're trying to woo her with.
Enter bottle rejection. The bottle intro is most easily made in the first few weeks of a baby's life. But if that ship has already sailed, it doesn't necessarily mean you've missed the bottle boat entirely. So, let's get started.
First, choose the right nipple. Look for ones that resemble those made by nature with a wide base and a slow flow. Keep in mind that some babies are pretty picky about their nipples, so you may have to experiment to find one that your little bottle snubber will happily accept.
Then, pick the right fluid. Some infants will open wide for a bottle that's filled with familiar breast milk. Others, reminded of breast milk's original source, are more open to formula or a combo. Warming the contents so it mimics straight from the tap breast milk can help too.
Time it right. Babies are usually more receptive to the bottle when they're in the market for something to eat.
Your hungry baby's not taking the bottle bait, in fact, offering a bottle when he's looking for a breast just plain makes him mad? Offer the bottle for dessert or as a snack between feeds. Let your baby get to know the bottle before getting down to business. To explore it, play with it, who knows, even put it in her mouth as she does everything else. Or, try sneaking it in during sleep as your little dreamer is drifting off, or just before he wakes. Once you've gained sleepy acceptance, you can try when baby's alert.
Remember too, that your baby is more likely to take a bottle when breasts aren't in the picture or within sniffing distance. So for best results, anyone but mom, baby's favorite milk machine, should offer the bottle.
Still facing resistance? Try persistence. While your breastfeeding baby may be puzzled by, or even furious at, this unfamiliar milk dispenser, chances are she's eventually going to open up her horizons and her mouth.
In the mean time, keep the pressure off. Even an infant can smell desperation. Offer the bottle once every couple of days, but don't push it. Try to appear blase' about the bottle, even if you're so not. Here's to happy bottle feeding.
Reading the comments had lessen my stress. I'm not the only one with this problem.
Mee also, my baby is 6mos i need to work
@@joanamariemirasol4094 hi, how did you end up getting your baby to take a bottle?
My baby is 3 months and I'm going back to work. He has refused every single bottle. I have tried many. Next up is Momi bottle ..
@@ccm0533plz help me my baby suddenly stop bottle feeding my baby is 5 months old
Me also same , I started work , my 6.5 months baby keep ignoring milk 😢
Get to the point 👉 1:40
Mothers read my comment:
Your baby WILL take the bottle. Read this again, say it out loud and with confidence, believe it.
It took several weeks and many bottles/nipples later (emulait, nuk, mam, Philips, haakaa) but eventually fully transitioned from total refusal to drinking 32+ ounces a day.
Persistence! Don’t give up! Offer it at least 3x a day and don’t worry if baby refuses it still after a few days. My baby cried and hated the bottle for at least a week straight. Then each day she took a tiny bit more.
Don’t give up. You got this.
(The bottle my baby ended up liking was the haakaa )

How old is your baby when you introduced the bottle?
This helped a ton!
Hey Heidi I m so glad I have you. Can I offer my baby bottle (formula) when he is 6 month old?
Very warm message. Thanks for the encouragement!
My 3 month baby girl refuse to take bottlefeed
This video didn't help at all. Mine takes the bottle just fine but I notice that milk still flows out the side of her cheeks while eating. It's a slow release and everything, idk why she spits it out sometimes
Relate much my 3 months old baby dont want bottle
Likewise.. Did any thing work. This man takes 1 sip then can't even get close

After getting thrush I stopped breastfeeding my baby. Two months later I finally decided to take bottles away. Just until my baby got use to breastfeeding again. Now he refuses to take a bottle at all.
How did you treat the thrush? Creams not working
@@aishanaru9429Did you have any luck Aisha?
I was mix feeding my baby since she was born and a month ago when she was going to turn 2 months she decided she did not want no more bottle nor pacifier… she is about to be 3 months this Friday… it makes it hard because I can’t have my husband feed her when I’m busy. I have to stop and feed because she literally screams if I don’t attend to her right away… i will give her the bottle to play since she starting to grab things to put in her mouth! Didn’t think of that thank you!

My 3 month old baby isnt getting enough milk through breast feeding, i tried giving pumped milk she refuses d bottle pls help me
How do you know she isn’t getting enough milk. If she feeds in the breast often she should be getting enough feed every 2-3hrs some times in growth spurts they cluster feed and are literally sucking almost all day.
Hi. How was your baby now? We have the same problem
I already went back to work last july 27 but i ended up going home after 2 hrs of shift😭😭my baby wont feed in the bottle and insisted not to take it 4 1/2 hrs😭😭 went i got home she cried and she was so hungry when i breastfeed her😭😭 my bosses gave me up until august 8 to train my baby but no success at all😭😭 i tried 4 different types of milk and i eveb pump my breastmilk and 5 different types of nipples but none of them work😭😭now i decided to resigned because my baby will refuse bottle feeding😭😭😭
Hey dear were you successful. I am frustrated too that my 3months baby has completely refused the bottle
My baby is 1 month now she dont finish her bottle just drink 30 ml and if i force her she cries. I m so stress bcoz i dont nurse
30 mls is ok for a 1 month old. She’ll eventually take more than that as she grows. Give it time.
My boy is 7 month and he literally use bottle nipple as teether , also no solid attracts him even cerelac,only mother feed he wants all day and night..can anyone guide me in this situation?
My baby boy is almost 8 months, I had the same issue at first but I was adding breast milk to his solids to get him started which he done well however now won’t get off the breast and refuses being bottle fed.
@@segenkfle5785hello I was wondering did he ever start taking bottles and how did that go I have an 8month old now and just started bottles 😅

Did you ever get them to take it? Ours is 9 months and has refused a bottle since 2 months. Won’t drink anything out of it (water, formula, breastmilk) my wife is back to work and losing it cause he will not drink any milk. Any help would be appreciated thank you
Hi,What you all did to accept bottle milk.plz reply.
This is my problem too when i gave my baby the feeding bottle he just give me smile and play the nipple 😂😂😊
Aww, at least he's happy. Many cry like they're being hurt lol.
Exactly same with my baby. She's 3 month's old
My third baby refused the bottle in the hospital and again at 3 weeks. We tried a number of different bottles and others feeding her. She is 7 months and still will not take a bottle. We also tried cup feeding at certain points without enough success. She started solids at 6 months and gets my milk in a medicine or sauce cup that she sips or laps up when I am now at work without her. Boy is she hungry when I get home 8-10 hours later. But, at least we can get by on that now. Some babies just won't do bottles. 😃
It's far better to never give baby a bottle ⭐
Same situation,,
Hi, I'm due to return to work soon and I'm exclusively breastfeeding since birth. Did you find that you could go a few hours without breastfeeding? Do you leak? Just curious how i'm going to manage! Thanks in advance!
@@Alove4fashion it is actually with the bottle nipple size. I got frustrated and gave up and continued breastfeeding then I used Mee Mee feeding bottle which is a life saver. The one I used earlier was avent ( wide nipple base)
@@Alove4fashion pump or you will lose suppy
Bumili tuloy ako ng comotomo hahaha pricey siya pero sana worth it.
Okay po ba?
I didn’t take to the bottle, but I took to the feeder.
my baby is 1 yr and 8 months old and he keeps on refusing bottle...I've been trying to bottle feed him since he was 8 months old but he keeps on crying ang throwing the bottle
Too old for a bottle, give her a sippy cup
@@ratha8799 way too old indeed. I would worry at all and just give a cup with a straw designed for that age
Try cup feeding baby milk in a medicine cup. There are plenty of instructions on y tube from pediatric occupational therapists on how to do this.
I'm going back to work in a week and my baby is still not taking the bottle 😭 this is giving me so much stress.
Me too
Same here
Same here 😢
How did you manage ladies because I am going through the same?
My stress now
I have a bigger problem, no matter if I pump breastmilk in a bottle my baby won't take it in every bottle I've tried, so I just breast fed for a year now my daughter is 1 and still no other milk not having the bottle and im lacking breast milk myself now because im trying to stop plus its hurting now because there's hardly any milk, because she's not drinking any regular milk from bottle or cups she's not sleeping at night
Even my son is the same 😢 he just doesn't want milk in a bottle weather I breast pump or formula, he just wants breast and he's bitting me now 😢😢
@@patiencezamokuhle7962hey is your problem solved. I am in same boat
My baby is 3 months, I tried bottle feeding her.😂 She almost ate me alive for not giving her the breast.. I'll try to get daddy to feed her while I am away. Maybe she will accept the bottle 😢
Hi, may I ask , how did it go? Did you get her to take the bottle? I’m on the same boat I’m exclusively breastfeeding and my baby won’t take the bottle, it’s so frustrating bc I have to go back to work soon 😩
@@jennyherrera204 hi mommy did come right with the transition? I'm in the same boat and my little one is showing me flames.
Try not to give bottle feeds if you can possibly avoid them. Breast milk is much better.
She's feeding from bottle but only expressed milk. Took 3 months of practice
@@zandiletshazi9776 That's great that it's expressed milk. Take care that expressing is not as stimulating for the breast as a baby feeding directly from it and milk supply can decrease if baby doesn't suckle often too.
My baby is almost 1yr old. We’ve been trying to feed him with milk bottle or sippy cup during the day for 2 month now. He still refuses to have milk with any types of bottles. He only accepts the sippy cup for having water……I’m going back to work in a week. It struggles me a lot that my son doesn’t have any milk in the daycare….. What shall I do? 😭any tips, please?
My baby is turning 1yr old ok march 11. He also refuses bottle even when it's my breastmilk. He only drinks water in bottle. I'm starting to work soon, need to teach my baby to bottle feed. 😭😭😭
Please try giving the bottle while starting to sleep... May not be a good advice but you get the feel baby have some milk
He’s 1 does he eat solids because if he doesn’t drink milk in the sippy cup it’s time to close shop
How did you go about this?
Please let me know if you have found a way.
Both my babies refused the bottle.
Our is turning 4 months now. She refuses 2 different teats and will gonna try again 2 different teats. One is £1.9 and the other worth £23 (2 bottles). Hopefully she'll take it soon 🥲
Hello. Have you tried the 2 different teats? How's it going?
@@nonophat Yes. And she did not like it so I give it a try again using the MAM teat, and she's much better now although sometimes she don't know what to do with it, at least she did not spit it out. As much as possible I introduce bottle 2x/day.. I think she's only taking few mls from it like between 3-5ml only
Just an update.
Our little one did not take the bottle until I started working, cause she doesn't have any choice at all. BUT she's not having enough milk all through out the day. 🥲 Hopefully it will get better. Best of luck to all of us struggling with the same problem.
@@annafatimaaquino2357 thanks for the update. I hope things improve so that baby can be able to take in more milk during the day. I had also just accepted that my boy would note be getting in as much milk as he should be cos of refusing the bottle. He is now 6 months and he is still not quite there yet with a bottle. I recently tried a really cheap no-name brand cos of the very tiny, very soft teat. The most he's taken from it is 50ml which is a big improvement.
All the best mommy🌸🌸
@@nonophat Hi. She's been doing well so far. Taking about 250mls of milk while I am away. I know it's not that much but at least she's taking something than nothing at all. It's very hard but we'll get through it. 👍
Baby is one month and we are thinking of giving it a go with the babah
Please stick with breastfeeding if you possibly can
@@dshe8637 why is that?
@@thedon217 Breastfeeding is much, much better than bottlefeeding. If you start giving bottles, then milk supply can go down. The less time at the breast, the less milk is made.
If you avoid formula totally, you can reduce the chance of serious health problems in the future.
@@dshe8637 what sorry of health problems? And thank you for the knowledge
My baby is 6month am having a very bad headache I want to get my period back and my baby refuses everything she is very smart 😭😭😭😭 please help me my ladies
Same here
Any luck
Have patience. Your baby will take less milk when solid foods are more a part of diet
May I ask why you want your period to return? Usually, women enjoy not having their periods while breastfeeding since it's perfectly normal and healthy. I'm sorry you're having bad headaches though.
Omg 😢my 4 months old refuse bottle too my husband just bought a new bottle so hopefully he will take it I don’t mind breast feeding him because I will be off work until he’s 1 years old but I find it hard going out with him because of breast feeding
Same problem 🥺🥺
Same here 😩
How was your baby now?
Baby is 13 months and still refuses a bottle
Hi,What you all did to accept bottle milk.plz reply.My baby is 15 months.
I'm not producing hardly any milk for my 8 month old baby. Baby will NOT take anything but me... no bottle, paci, cups nothing! She won't even let us put anything in her mouth at all...
Drink more water dear and try to bresst feed him it will help
Did you ever get them to bottle feed? We are going through the same thing. He refuses everything besides water and it has to be in a cup/straw 9 months by the way lol
I did get her to take a cup. She was 11m when she took one. It was a straw cup. Since she wouldn't take formula at all .. she was on a feeding tube for a little bit (the nazel one) so that's how she got formula into her. Docs didn't know how long she'd be on there, but yet turned around and would ask me like I'm the one who put her on it... I feel like they failed her so I tried whole milk with her at 11m and she took it right away through the straw cup. I told her new doc what I did too and the situation and the doc didn't say anything negative. Just apologized for the trouble the other docs caused and told me I was doing a good job. She'll be 2 in a few months and she's 23lbs (she's from a petite family... Us, parents both born at 5lbs as well as my sibling too). She's doing great.
@@NikkFlocurrently pregnant with our fourth baby (girl mama here lol) but im really considering formula feeding this time. Mainly because I'm super busy with these 3 girlies already and I don't think my body would be able to keep up with breastfeeding because I struggle to eat enough or something since I'm go go go all the time and feeding the girls first. I usually eat when they're napping and after theyre in bed for the night. I try to snack throughout the day as well. But, since our second born and our youngest didn't take to a bottle it gives me anxiety. I'd love to be able to pump a good amount and put it in the bottle and maybe substitute with formula IF NEEDED. I just know nothing about how to pump correctly. With our youngest she exclusively breast fed but I wasn't making much they said and when id pump with her and the second born I'd only get a few drops. I'd never even get a bottom of a bottle full... Literally just drops.
A work colleague had a baby boy in Sept 22 and breast fed him. His weight gain was very slow despite feeding well so she consulted her GP. It turned out she had mastitis in both breasts so the child was effectively feeding on pus for three months. A course of antibiotics sorted her out.
My baby is only on bottle feed and is having bottle aversion and is not taking the bottle in mouth at all . I have kept my baby hungry for 14 hrs but really don’t demand for milk and whenever I offer the bottle will start pushing away and not take the feed . I feel so helpless right now. My baby is 4.5months old and was always on scheduled feeding. He never cries for milk.And sleeps empty stomach. Have changed number of bottles and have tried many nipples. Please help me . And in dream feed he has started recognising the bottle.
Try to feed him by cup. That's not that difficult as you may think. And hopefully he will accept the bottle soon again.
My problem is same my baby never demands for milk she is around 3 months I m so worried n stressed feeling so helpless how should I feed my baby plz help
same problem my baby is 2 month old and he is properly depend on formula but 3 to 4 days he is not take feed properly m worried about him

I wish i bottlefed my baby as early as possible. I regret it now. She’s 9 months and refused to drink from bottle 😢
i dont think the time of introduction is the issue. i started given breastmilk bottles along with breastfeeding since day 1. thinking that i want my baby to be used to it. my baby is almost 7 months old now. we had the first bottle refusal at 4 months then at 5 1/2 months and again now:((. so i think its more related to negative experience more anything (our bottle rejection started after the vaccination)

Actually we have the Problem that our 4 Month girl has still used the bottle but siddenky start to reject, even she's so hungry.
How did you fix it?... Same problem I'm facing too
Same. Were u able to fix it?
@@mytran6936
We were able to solve the problem.
Our situation:
Our girl was suddenly terrified of the bottle. We have twins and her sister had no problem. She had watched the bottle from afar and never let it out of her sight. Our girl is very sensitive and gets frightened very quickly. Babies have a different logical mindset than we adults do. We assume that at some point she associated a traumatic experience with the bottle. E.g. choked on the milk too often while drinking or we pushed her too hard to drink.
Unfortunately, she cannot drink from her breast either.
We talked to the midwife, the doctor and even the hospital. Nobody knew what could help and had only advised not to feed her for a day and that she would accept the bottle the next day because she was hungry.
We tried, but no chance.
She screamed, cried and sucked on everything except the bottle from being so hungry.
A midwife recommended that we get teats with a larger hole and a higher flow rate because the Baby might be frustrated of less flow she thought. But that had only made it worse because she choked even more while drinking.
We did our own research and experimented ourselves.
*Here are our results:*
a) Let starve for a day until she accepts the bottle: No.
b) Larger suction cup with a higher flow rate: No.
c) We had turned off the light and closed the windows. So as dark as possible. That worked for a moment. At some point she understood that and first felt with her hand whether it was the bottle (clever girl) and tried it with her tongue. Then she understood that we set her up. We also tricked her by putting our finger in her mouth, because she accepts the feeling of skin. And fast changing the finger by the bottle. This worked only once. The midwife said later that we shouldn't fool and trick Baby in order to get them to do something. This could led to more problems. So... No.
d) We have ordered so many different bottles and teats from different brands. She had accepted the teats made of natural rubber best. You can usually only find them on special pages on the Internet. Preferably the broad ones. The natural rubber material reminds the Baby more of the mother's breast.
At least a she drink little better.
e) What worked best was waiting for her to fall asleep. But do not feed while she sleeps in the middle of the night. Everyone has advised against this, as sleep must be undisturbed at night in order to produce growth hormones.
We always used the moment when she just closed her eyes and fell asleep. Then she drank wonderfully. e.g. I put her on my lap and weighed her to sleep. The bottle is ready. As soon as she dozed off, I gave her the bottle.
In the morning I got her out of bed without waking her up. I didn't changed her diaper but gave her the bottle straight away before she really wakes up. Most of the time she was half asleep or still asleep. After her drinking I change her diaper.
That is why we coordinated the feeding and nap times during the day.
She still didn't drink like she used to, but now at least we didn't have to worry anymore and slowely she lost the fear of the bottle.
It was also important that we always combined the feeding time when she woke up with fun. Smile, cuddle, stroke, talk fondly to keep the feeding in a more positive memory.
From the fifth month we slowly started with complementary foods (carott or pumkin and meat porridge). She eats that with no problem. And we make sure that she doesn't have any negative experiences here. No stress while eating. Fun. Love. And be careful that she doesn't choke and that she likes the taste of her meals.
Further information:
We worried about malnutrition. We were told that first of all it is important that she eats enough food to at least not become dehydrated. Of course, that always depends on the weight of the child. At that time ours weighed about 5 kg and we should have a minimum of 300-400 ml. The more the better.
It is important that you write down and document your feedings and amounts as well as the times as best you can and discuss them with your pediatrician.

@@uhrologe2596 thanks so much for your tips. That a lot of work you put out there for the baby i am glad it's kinda works for you. We're currently trying Lansinoh bottle for my baby. The first week he accepted the bottles peacefully and i was like hallelujah! But then he started protesting once hes used to the bottle but still taking it on and off. So I'm trying it a little more with this bottle for now. It is straight up stressful feeding him every time lol. Thanks again for the tips and wish the best for your baby.
Or you get sick and need to start medicine 😢😢😢😢
They set motherhood up ladies, the babies with breastfeeding is wonderful, but detaching and throwing in a bottle 🍼 is so confusing for the babies 😭 we should have 6 months of maternity leave with pay, because if it wasn't for mothers male's men wouldn't exist.
Non-negotiable. No breast. Stand your ground. Period.
So glad I neved breast fed. I didn't have to go through that headache.

Breastfeeding is much better for babies
...but this video is literally about bottle feeding, not breastfeeding. Both have their challenges, but breastfeeding requires less time and effort once mother and baby are practiced at it. Being able to stay at home with your infant has become a privilege though. If moms could afford not to work and could breastfeed their children whenever and wherever they wouldn't have to carry bottles with them or leave bottles with caretakers.
what a useless video, lets re-phrase the problem for 2 min before we address the solution, meanwhile I have a wailing child. Also, most obvious answers ever.
‘Sneak it in when baby is sleepy’? This is not respectful feeding. How would you react if someone did that to you? Pls don’t do this as this teaches your baby to mistrust you around feeding. With all due respect, infant feeding needs to be treated as a positive experience so that it does not create more deepened aversive behaviours.
But dream feed is also shoving boob in baby’s mouth
Too much blah blah blah 🙄
Babies don't need to bottle feed. Breastfeeding is so much better for them.
What a shame mothers of young babies can't afford to breastfeed their babies until they are old enough.
WHO says it's best to feed babies from breast only for first six months (no other feeds), then continue with breast and solids until at least one year.
Shame on you for the tsk tsk. Pumping breast milk and bottle feeding go hand in hand. This isn't a formula-only issue. Not all mothers can stay home all day with their babies, most need to work. Most mothers would like to have a date night with their partner and leave the baby with a caregiver for a few hours. Not all mothers produce enough to continue to breastfeed. Why a breastfed baby needs to be bottle fed has many different reasons and you don't need to shame those mothers that must.
@@nataliem872 If mothers are working and express milk to be left with a carer, it's unlikely that the supply will be maintained. The plan to express to bottle usually ends up with formula included.
I'm not shaming anyone, but mothers planning to return to work need to be realistic about it. The amount of time pumping to keep up a full supply can make it impractical for babies under 6 months.
@@dshe8637 Awfully pessimistic of you to assume. I worked full time and maintained my supply for my first born without issue. I breastfed her until her 3rd birthday and she never had an ounce of formula (not that I had any issue with formula, just simply wasn't needed). I'm not some anomaly, either. I was part of a large group of mothers all with the same outcome when going back to work.
I'm not sure why you felt the need to comment such a negative opinion on a video clearly intended for mothers that for some reason or another are having trouble with getting their littles to take a bottle while they are away. As if they aren't stressed enough. Support mothers trying to do their best for themselves and their babies, don't turn your nose up and act as if you are so much better. It's a disgusting attitude, at best.
@@nataliem872 I am genuinely pleased for you and salute your achievement in giving your baby the very best, sincerely.
Unfortunately, many mums do find that supply declines when they are mostly pumping and sadly that becomes a time when babies are prematurely weaned or put to formula.
@@nataliem872 thank you Natalie. I am actually so emotional ove the comments this woman is making.
How harsh and narrowmined.
