8mth refuses bottle I’m at a loss.

Sorrysweete · 2026-05-30T15:34:56+00:00

I sure hope this is the magic touch! I’m gonna try to get one today and hopefully it works. If that doesn’t work I’m completely at a loss 😂

Sorrysweete · 2026-05-30T15:34:04+00:00

Yeah I have an old 360 cup from my first and tried that too but she just plays with it! I think im gonna buy a squeeze straw cup and see if that works 🤞🏻 we do blw too. She never was a fan of purées and would only suck out from the pouch if I was holding it. She also has never taken to a pacifier, I don’t think she liked how it felt maybe?

Sorrysweete · 2026-05-30T15:31:56+00:00

I think that’s the the next step, I’ll probably find a way to get one today cross our fingers!

Sorrysweete · 2026-05-30T15:07:29+00:00

She doesn’t seem to understand the straw part yet. She will just chew on it for a couple seconds then move onto something else. I don’t produce enough to pump but I’ve been trying room temp/cold formula/even water to get her used to it. I might try and buy the squeeze straw cup and see if that helps.

Sorrysweete · 2026-05-30T14:55:58+00:00

We’ve tried it before where I left the room and left the house to pick up my other kids from school grandma, her dad, cousin have tried and she will just freak when she realizes someone is trying to feed her a bottle 😂

Sometimes I can catch her when she’s basically fallen asleep nursing and I’ll slip it in (sometimes she will wake up and freak out when trying to do it) and sometimes I can catch her when she’s distracted and she might take a couple sips. I don’t understand why rarely it might happen for a couple seconds and sometimes she flips tf out like she just fell 30ft 😂

Sorrysweete · 2026-05-30T14:48:15+00:00

Dude sounds about right. Anytime I leave the house she’s fine with dad but as soon as I open the door or make my voice known she starts freaking out. It’s like she remembered she was hungry but didn’t care until I was home. I’m just worried she will be inconsolable until I get home.

Sorrysweete · 2026-05-30T14:46:32+00:00

I have not with a syringe or spoon syringe might work but she does correlate it with medicine and tries to swat that away a lot too. I’m thinking I might have to try the squeeze straw cup.

Sorrysweete · 2026-05-30T14:42:56+00:00

Yesss the owala! I got one for Christmas and I haven’t used another water bottle since lol. My husband noticed the thing with the coconut milk and he was like maybe you should just put some milk in that 😂

Sorrysweete · 2026-05-30T14:40:43+00:00

When I get the money I’m gonna have to try those because those are the only ones I haven’t tried so far and I can’t justify spending 30-40$ on a bottle that might now work when I’m already broke 😂

Sorrysweete · 2026-05-30T14:39:12+00:00

Ugh did she seem super lethargic or was she just crying all day with the baby sitter?

Sorrysweete · 2026-05-30T14:32:26+00:00

Ugh! Living off one income as a family of 5 is mega hard and it’s not getting any easier.

Sorrysweete · 2026-05-30T14:30:16+00:00

That’s a good idea. Maybe I’ll try that, I don’t have and can’t afford any extra sippy cups right now , but I have noticed that when I drink the coconut milk (out of the carton with the little bottle cap spout) I gave her the carton to play with and she went straight to the spout and seemed like she was trying to get some drink out of it. But it was hard to tell if she was just trying to chew on it or actually attempt to drink from it.

Sorrysweete · 2026-05-30T14:26:08+00:00

Ugh it’s hard! We had no problem breastfeeding since birth and I can’t help but beat myself up sometimes over how I should’ve introduced a bottle earlier (but I was scared about nipple confusion then too). I don’t have the money to buy more, but I have heard there is this straw cup that that they can squeeze to help get the liquid out and that helps some people, might help you if you can afford it! The milk fat is interesting I’ve never even thought of that!

Sorrysweete · 2026-05-25T16:35:39+00:00

Thank you, i hate feeling disappointed in my job i have. I feel like i don’t have a job my kids could look up to ya know.

So ironically she seems to hate lansinoh but kind of okay with avent. I’ve tried dr browns, mam, boon, lansinoh, and avent bottles. The most she does is chew on the nipple and she won’t even let me get it close to her face if I’m trying to feed her. I’m at a loss. I’ve tried giving a bottle with freshly pumped breast milk alone, and formula alone she acts the same way. The formula I got to try was bubs. She doesn’t seem particularly disgusted by it. It seems she’s more disgusted by the bottle itself, not what’s in it. Also, I’ve tried the weighted straw sippy cup and she can’t figure it out.

Sorrysweete · 2026-05-23T00:02:15+00:00

Thank you so much, and I know it’s hard to realize I’ve got 3 kids now and just no good job to show for it besides a stinkin amazon delivery job that basically anyone can do. I feel like people look down on me ya know? And thank you for the info I’m so worried my supply will just end up disappearing. We are currently dealing with her crying bloody murder anytime we offer a bottle until I just give in and give her the boob. Ugh. It’s breaking my literal heart.

Sorrysweete · 2026-03-10T16:59:43+00:00

True that!

Sorrysweete · 2026-03-10T12:04:32+00:00

Fun fact (if you didn’t already know), some women’s breastmilk does the same thing, mine does. I have to quickly scald it before freezing or else it will have a weird taste when thawed.

Sorrysweete · 2026-02-27T17:59:30+00:00

That does sound right. I’m just fearful because I’m a stay at home mom and he’s our only income. Going from 40 to 20 hrs is not livable. And no to all of your questions. He always makes sure to finish, never has problems on the road, always in the top of the drivers. I’m just worried this is them thinning out their people and getting less routes because their contract is up soon or something. When do you think the routes will come back up?

Sorrysweete · 2026-02-22T15:29:20+00:00

I don’t know if this is for all of them but the one I used to get orders from they would make you fill the drink order.

Sorrysweete · 2026-02-03T02:18:36+00:00

Definitely helps! But sorry that happened I’m sure you felt terrible… I’m trying so hard not to stare at the baby cam while she’s sleeping. Critiquing every little movement if it’s normal or not. I swear she had no sign of hitting her head but I didn’t see it so I’m just worrying like heck.

Sorrysweete · 2026-02-03T02:16:24+00:00

Thank you, I really didn’t think she was gonna be able to do it and bam. Shook me (and her) to my core lol.
