hi eva2004,
welcome!! congrats on ur 2nd pregnancy.
poohwei,
my gal has problem accepting the bottle as well. during the earlier days (when i'm not back at work),i did just the same as angel. offer direct latch before intro bottle.
well this is not the "best" method as i will be gg back to work soon. the next thing we tried is to ask helper to lay a security blanket (which i have "slept" with for a while) on her just before feed. thought that will give her the "smell" of mummy. hahaha.. which in fact she did had that impression and began accepting the bottle. but it didn't last long. 2 months after going back to work, she started rejecting bottle again. no matter how hard we tried, she still rejects. good thing is she's on solids liao, so we put EBM in her meals. She seems to be "anti-teat", never got her to accept so we put milk in mag cup and suck it thru straws. from then on, she has been taking milk thru straws.
