How do you get a breastfed baby to take a bottle?

while your feeding he/she have a bottle ready and after he/she is latched on slip the bottle as your taking your nip out. it might work. also I heard of this special device where you take the bottle and strap it to you instead of going out the bottles nipple it goes threw a tube that sits next to your nip and its sapose to help somehow I don’t know im not exactly sure really. and if that wont work then theres really not much you can do besides maybe every few hours or so have the baby sitter bring your baby to you to feed.

I don’t want this to sound horrible, but if I were to refuse to breastfeed her and just keep offering her the bottle, she’ll eventually take it right? She’s not gonna starve herself is she?

Have you still got contact with your midwife? I would definitely ask their advice if you can.

It may be the smell of you she is missing? Try getting someone else to feed her a bottle holding her close to their body, wrapped in a cardigan of yours (or something else you have been wearing that smells like you). Hopefully that may help?
