Hi mommy! I had the same experience. LO was taking the bottle since NB and maybe til 2 months and then biglang ayaw na niya. Nasasayang pinupump ko so nag exclusive BF ako.
After buying so many bottles, here’s what worked for me:
1. Pigeon bottle or spectra bottle (same sila halos ng shape ng nipple)
2. Check the formula milk if like ni baby yung taste. LO didn’t like S26, nangangasim yung face pag pinapatry ko so mas lalo ayaw magbottle and dinudura niya yung milk.
3. Nagswitch ako from S26 to Similac and di na niya dinudura yung milk. I had to taste my own BM to compare it to similac and s26 and mas close sa lasa ng BM yung similac.
4. I try to feed her when she’s in a good mood. Like bagong gising or sa hapon pag siesta time. Mas nahirapan ako ipatake sakanya pag gutom na gutom siya and bad mood siya.
5. Warm milk! LO started becoming more interested when I warmed the formula milk.
6. Position the nipple upwards sa ngalangala instead na parallel sa tongue, mas na-gets ni baby na need niya ilatch.
7. Try to position the baby sideways / side-lying position. Para di sila malunod sa pagpatak ng milk.
8. Kahit 7mos na si baby, buy a nipple na pang newborn or 0-3mos kasi si LO nasasamid siya nung una sa 3-6mos na nipple (small to medium flow) and mas nahahate niya yung bottle.
9. Try feeding while playing with the baby. I tried tapping the nipple around LOs lips, have her taste the milk, then pull the bottle out of her mouth again while smiling and laughing basically nakikipaglaro. Important daw talaga na good mood si baby and maassociate nila yung bottle feeding into something positive.
Hope this helps!
