BFing for a minute, then unlatching and sneaking the bottle in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bottle-strike-1#post-441080 Mon, 10 Dec 2012 11:55:32 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 441080@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You can check out my blog post on bottle strike.

It took a while but she was forced to get use to the bottle since she started daycare at 12 weeks </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bottle-strike-1#post-441009 Mon, 10 Dec 2012 11:27:21 +0000 BelugaBean 441009@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We went through this and I wrote a few posts on it. We had to find the right combination of everything and we had to just keep trying. </p> <p>The bottle that she never cried with was the Lansinoh mOmma bottle. It was shaped differently (bottle and nipple) than all the others we had tried. Have you tried those?</p> <p>We also use a medium flow nipple now but we were willing to accept that she might come to prefer the faster flow of the bottle (and she does sometimes).</p> <p>We use formula in our bottles too because she never wanted breastmilk from a bottle for some reason. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bottle-strike-1#post-440989 Mon, 10 Dec 2012 11:20:47 +0000 lovehoneybee 440989@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Shameless daytime bump. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bottle-strike-1#post-440385 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 21:06:17 +0000 littlek 440385@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son has never refused a bottle but he's also had at least one bottle a day since the day he was born. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bottle-strike-1#post-440383 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 21:03:49 +0000 lovehoneybee 440383@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is 4 months old and is BF. I stay at home with him and nurse the bulk of the time but he's gotten a bottle of pumped milk a few times a week (since he was 3 weeks old).</p> <p>Last week he started refusing the bottle. I thought maybe the (thawed out) milk was bad, so I tried giving him freshly pumped milk and he still refused it, and has since. I know he's hungry because he's giving me hunger cues, and when I give in and breastfeed he goes to it like he's starving. </p> <p>We've tried different bottles, and different people (DH, MIL and FIL have all tried) to no avail.</p> <p>Is this normal phase? </p>
