3 month old rejecting bottle
My son is 3 months old and from last one week he is not taking feed from bottle. He is exclusively Brest fed but some days I pump and give it through bottle.
I have tried everything - changing nipple, different temperatures, my husband feeding him but nothing seems to work. If we try hard he takes in 30-40 mL and then starts playing with the nipple.
I have to travel next month hence would need suggestions how to fix this.

Firstly bottle feeding is not at all advised as it leads to increased chances of infections and secondly baby will have nipple confusion which will further increase the feeding problem .. u can try giving through katori spoon whenever using stored breast milk otherwise stick to exclusive feeding through breast whenever feasible

You can try feeding through paladai or spoon or Nifty cups. You can easily get it on Amazon
As mechanism for feeding through breast and nipple are different, it’s common for breastfed baby to reject bottle
As a pediatrician, I would advise against bottle feeding as it is associated with poor development of sinuses, ear infections, etc
