We have been trying to give LO a bottle of breastmilk every night so that he will get used to it by the time he starts daycare in March. Poor DH is in our bedroom right now attempting to get him to drink it and will be in there for at least another hour to get LO to drink even an ounce. We've gotten him to the point where he doesn't scream anymore but now he just plays with the nipple back and forth with his tongue and refuses to suck. We have tried so many things to get him to take it -- different times of the day, in a location other than where I nurse him, with the lights on, in dim lighting, in the dark, holding him, putting him in a swing or the rock n play, and we are now on our fifth type of bottle. It is so frustrating but DH is amazing at staying as calm as possible so LO does too.

If you went through something similar, how did you finally get your LO to take a bottle? We've been trying for two weeks and he is now 6 weeks old. Not sure if it's related but he refuses pacifiers as well. Ugh!!
