@thest.germainfamily: Dad tried for 20 minutes, then I also tried… We tried for several weeks in the NICU with their entire team. I’ve tried multiple bottles, nipple flows, so many positions (mostly elevated side laying) even 3 different people have tried not including the NICU staff
It looked like he was trying to latch but you were jabbing the bottle in and out. Everytime he started to latch you pulled the bottle away

Try different bottles, different nipples. It took a while for us to find one my baby would take.

Breastfeeding is more than just a food source. It’s a comfort through skin to skin. He doesn’t get that with a plastic bottle. He’s done nothing wrong nor is he being difficult. This isn’t unique. My son was breastfed and wouldn’t take a pacifier or bottle he gagged on them. Skin will always be superior.

there's a trick that the nurses showed me with the bottle you put it in their mouth and lift up so it touches the roof of their mouths and they will naturally start to suck. worked with my son. he is 100% bottle fed. we also use a tommy tippee which is the most boob like

Jordan | Mama • 📚• Homeschool :
These comments are not it. Babies are not manipulative, they don't learn behaviors like that at such a young age. His mama is his food, he knows it and he loves her. Mama, I breastfed all mine after my first (and second) refused bottles. It's hard but all that bonding and time is something you won't get back. You're doing the right thing. ❤️
