Help! (Bottle Edition)

Turns out this girl...



thinks bottles are for idiots. And she is no idiot.

So, friends, any suggestions? We're using the Avent bottles, mainly because that's what came with the pump. We first introduced the bottle at 3 weeks, per the lactation consultant. She does not like them one bit and will take very little or refuse completely.

Would LOVE any thoughts, suggestions, etc.

Thanks!

Aiden loved his Dr. Brown's bottles. Keep trying, like breastfeeding - it just takes time. Hang in there!!

We called it "bottle boot camp" at our house. You just have to keep trying. Helps if Dad gives the bottles since you're associated with the preferred method of delivery! And if it gets too frustrating, just stop and try again in a couple of weeks.

But don't let TOO much time elapse before trying again. I wimped out time and time again - too much trouble today, I'll do it tomorrow, 1,000 excuses - until it became just plain impossible and I was sole provider until he was 9 months old. (at which point, he just decided to stop. Cold turkey. ouuuuuch....)
