My 4 month old little princess absolutely refuses to take a bottle. We have tried pretty much every one out there. The best one seems to be the one from Nuby, but even that one I can only get her to take less then an oz. She is breastfed, and I did start trying her with a bottle at one month (i was pumping and feeding) But for the past month she has decided she does not want anything to do with a bottle!!! i only need her to take it the odd time if i have to leave her more than a couple hours. any suggestions!!??

I breastfed my baby, but only gave him a bottle when needed and when i pumped i put it in the freezer for a just incase stash, He wont take a bottle for nothing now, but im a stay at home mom so he really never got the oppritunity to be given the bottle (now its led to him not being anywhere with anyone without me there... and im stuck)

I know of a mom who had the same problem and she tried like every single expensive bottle and would not take to any of them, the she bought the cheap Gerber bottles and finally had success ;)

UGH! exact same boat. I've tried almost every bottle and every nipple type out there! She won't have anything to to with a bottle. She never took a pacifier either. I think I'm just gonna give up trying. I'll try giving her a sippy cup in about a month when she's 6 months. Hopefully she'll take that, otherwise I don't know what I'm going to do!

My 4.5 month old son is exactly the same! Like Stephanie, I recently started him on the Nuby sip cup and he seems to be taking it better than the bottle, although he's not drinking everything just yet. Whatever you do end up trying, don't give up! Good luck

My son never took to a bottle, but recently started on the sippy cup & he LOVES it! Its the Nuby brand 6 mo+ one. Don't know if this gelps you but its what worked for me.
