DD is 13 weeks old and has been exclusively breastfed. She was taking the odd bottle from 2 weeks old of expressed milk. Always took it fine until three weeks ago and now she gets most upset or just plays with the teat in her mouth. She won't take a decent feed, sometimes she takes the odd ounze here all there.
i am stumped as to what to do? do i keep trying with one bottle a day until she takes it willingly or do i just wake up one day and say thats it, its bottles today and nothing else and just prepare myself for the hunger strike (last week she went six hours with nothing) Any advice would help me loads as this is really stressing me out !!
Thanks mums.
