I have 2 beautiful girls 4 1/2 and a 12 week
Old! My first baby was bottle fed and this time round I have mastered breastfeeding! She is feeding great, sleeping through, putting on weight and just loves the boob! Sounds great huh! My problem is I'm not so loving breastfeeding and need a break however my baby just won't take a bottle! I've tried both expressed milk and formula, I've tried different bottles (avent, Tommie tipee, medula and today I tried pigeon slim teat) but she just screams and flat out refuses! I can persist for half an hour of trying and in the end just put her back on the boob. I need a break from mum life for a few hours to keep my sanity so does anyone have any suggestions or been in a similar situation?

problem is it is you persisting. I found my daughters only took the bottle from other's. when it came to me they could smell the boob and wouldn't accept anything else
You smell like breastmilk! Have someone else try with the bottle.
