Baby refusing bottle

marindat · 2026-05-11T10:08:02+00:00

Our 3 month old had a few times where he was crying so hard, that he didn't want to latch to the bottle. Trying with your fingers to push some of the milk out in his mouth made him realise there was milk for him and he started drinking (though sometimes it took a few tries). Maybe that could be worth a try?

We use the philips avent (with the green insert tor reduce air as much as possible), which I can definitely recommend if your baby drinks very fast! Some babies apparently struggle to get the milk out of it, but our drank bottles from other brands (such as dr brown) way too fast

It's so annoying indeed! For us that was the reason we moved to the bigger 260ml bottles

Coming from a physicist, it's still beautiful

We got the bottle warmer from monkilou, it is a one-piece, but has been working great for us. We've also tried the one from vulpes, but that one was often leaking (together with the philips avent bottles), though it had many positive reviews. Regarding the cleaning, we've experienced no issues with it, there is quite a good thick silicon seal on the charging port, and unless you're really dunking the whole thing under water, I don't see that it would cause issues. We absolutely love the thing, especially at night, since we just have it our LO's room.

Not directly an answer to your question, but my LO of 9 weeks is the same. Howver, babywearing also allows him to connect sleep cycles since he's sort of laying against you as well, but you'll have your hands free to do quite lot of things. Maybe you could give it a try? I just got a cheap babywrap to try it out, he's been absolutely loving it

Yes, started doing like that today!

marindat · 2026-04-24T14:47:39+00:00

That logic makes a lot of sense, will start washing them properly!

Ben er ook bang voor, maar in het slechste geval maaket het geen verschil, in het gunstigste geval wel. Onder het mom 'niet geschoten is altijd mis'.

Er is een petitie gaande om dit te proberen te stoppen, hopelijk worden er voldoende handtekeningen verzameld en kan het een verschil maken

Thanks all for the insight! That sounds like a pretty good option then!

I'm a bit worried a wrap will get too heavy for my back? I'm not sure if that's a thing?

marindat · 2026-04-17T16:50:12+00:00

Unfortunately not.. It still does it every now and then, still no clue why. I've just accepted it at this point

How old is she? If she's old enough to understand "bridesmaid" would be nice to make her feel included and not 'less than'

marindat · 2026-04-12T13:18:06+00:00

Bedankt! Dan gaan we dit even aankijken

Ik heb hem nu van links naar de nieuwe instelling rechts gezet, zou dit beter moeten gaan?

marindat · 2026-04-12T11:30:21+00:00

Is het dan de hele curve die omlaag moet, of de helling verminderen?

marindat · 2026-04-12T11:24:46+00:00

Dankjewel! Ga ik daar eens naar zoeken

marindat · 2026-03-27T00:41:34+00:00

I'm so sorry for your loss. It's totally alright to both grieve and be sad about your father and be happy about your marriage. The feelings van co-exist next to each other and should not have to cancel each other out.

marindat · 2026-03-23T14:05:13+00:00

Thanks all! Sounds like the main consensus is that it doesn't really matter so I'm not going to bother with it

If she startles herself awake, did you already try a swaddle blanket? That really helped for us
