Answer 1

Oh dear.  The only thing I can suggest is that you ONLY offer the bottle.  She will have to have milk eventually when she is hungry.

Answer 2

not to freak you out but I was in the same position..he is 11 months old still only breatfeeds...no sippy no bottle ever....just mommy, and I have not been able to go back to work..even though we depend on my income!!! everyone tells me to cut him off cold turkey..that he will eat eventually...I am a very strong person, but a sucker for my kids..so I cant do it! an hour of crying is waaay to much for me..let alone till he is willing to take a bottle..but I wanted you to know u r not alone! and good luck! the only other thing that we tried when he was a lil younger was a foley cup...only can be found at FOLEY CUP. com..it was suggestted by a lactation specialist...but it only holds like 2 teaspoons of fluid...not nearly enough for a feeding!!!

Answer 3

Keep trying on a sippy cup, cause by next month - she should be on a sippy cup. Break out of those bottles early.....

I am a breastfeeding mother. My son wouldn't take the bottle either. Now he does. The only botlle he will take is called the NUK orthodontic bottle. The nipple is shaped more like a  breast nipple. It supports breasfeeding to bottle. I bought mine at Walmart. Give it a try. Good luck!
