Baby refusing bottle after 5 months exclusive BF
Going back to work in 4 weeks and panicking. She literally screams and pushes the bottle away. We've tried Tommee Tippee, MAM, Dr Brown's. Husband, grandma, even neighbour have tried. Any tricks that actually worked for you?

We had to go cold turkey for one feed - I left the house for 3 hours. Heartbreaking but she took it.

Try the Lansinoh Momma bottle - has a wide breast-like nipple, worked for us at 6mo.

Paced bottle feeding with her sitting upright helped. Also tried when she was sleepy not hangry.

Have you tried a sippy cup or open cup? Some BF babies skip the bottle entirely.

Munchkin Latch worked when nothing else did. Worth a try!
