A. Sometimes breastfed babies refuse to take a bottle from Mom because they know she has something better. ... Try switching to a nipple for babies 6 months and up. If, after trying everything, your baby still refuses to take a bottle from anyone, then don't try to force ur baby Take the bottle away and offer it again every half-hour until she eats. Babies can be stubborn and she may hold out for an hour or more, but once she gets hungry, she'll take her bottle someone has to feed your baby in the Lonely place check the flow of the nipple
