She still ate her food, but would not take a bottle. I would rock her to sleep and then give her the bottle. It only lasted for two days tops.

It is very common for them to, yes.

Both of my sons didn't but they would refuse the bottle because it hurt. But every child is different. I was told by a health nurse that they might refuse food and their milk when teething.
