Hand him to caregiver, LEAVE. If you are present he will likely continue to refuse.

Imagine that you walked into grandma's house while she's taking a batch of your favorite cookies out of the oven. What would you think if she refused to give you the frsh cookies but instead handed you a pack of stale saltines?

Your breasts = fresh cookies.

Bottle = stale saltines! At least as long as you're present. The saltines will do if fresh cookies aren't around, though.

I went back to work when my youngest was 8 months and he wouldn't take a bottle either, 5 hr shifts like you. By then he was ABLE to go that long without nursing but he did NOT want to. He did get used to it though.

Aww thank u for the advice :) km a sahm so bfing him was "normal" and i did try bottle feeding him but he obviously refused ... Im just hoping he gets used to bottle feeding and takes the bottle from his daddy like he used to :)
