Baby is a few weeks old and isn’t taking bottles. She took sporadically (unhappily) in the beginning but won’t take any now. We tried different bottles and formulas and it’s not helping. Please help.

Did you try the Avent with the natural nipple? I think it's most similar to the breast.

it's easier to nurse. someone other than you has to give the bottle.

I tried Parents choice which looks similar but it’s definitely worth a shot.

Is it the bottle or does she not like the formula?
If it’s formula I would suggest mixing it with breast milk and slowly lower the amount of breast milk in it until she’s used to the formula taste

I went through this with our youngest, ended up getting help from a feeding therapist. She had a bottle aversion, and weakness in muscles too, did well with patience, positive association, and the evenflo balance plus.
much hatzlacha!

I don’t know..
I tried pumping and another formula and she still isn’t taking it so I’m assuming the bottle is the problem. I’m not sure though.

Put the bottle's nipple inside your bra for a few hours so it takes "your smell"!
I never tried it myself but I heard it works!
