Breastfed and won't take a bottle..
Ruby will be 6 months old next week and WILL NOT take a bottle, be it water or expressed milk.
This is starting to worry me as I am going into hospital soon and she will need to be fed by my OH/Mum and I will express enough for the duration but other than in a cup (with which she makes a mess and so CANNOT be used at night for that reason and is still taking 3 feeds a night) there is no other way.
What do I do?
How can I get her to take a bottle?
We have tried loads of different bottles and she just will not suck. She bites the teat and smiles. Even when some milk is squeezed into her mouth, she still will not suck.
Advise or experiences please?
