My 6.5 month old DS is refusing the bottle every time I offer it, but as I am returnign to work part time next week (snap decision) I really need him to accept it. Any tips or ideas on how to go about this? I plan on using EBM for the bottle feeds.

I am in the same situation, DD is coming up 4 months and ive tried like 6 different teats, EBM, a few different types of formula, and she just pushes the teat out with her tounge. The only thing that has been working is a sippy cup ( i just use the take and toss brand) at first she would only have about 20-30mls of EBM because it was getting poured into her mouth but after a few days of trying twice a day she is now actually sucking it and opening her mouth for it and will drink 50-60 mls. So im just going to stick with the sippy cup. Goodluck!!
