My baby will be 5 weeks on Wednesday. We have been ebf and she refuses the bottle. She refuses to try it. Won't latch on.

My husband has been the one trying. He has tried different positions, 2 different bottles...avent natural and dr browns, squirting some on her lips, rubbing nipple nose to lip like we do breastfeeding.

All she files is scream for an hour and then she falls asleep!

Help! What do I do? I need to be able to leave her here and there. I don't want her to starve!
 
He could try feeding her with a little cup. You can get special feeding cups with a little lip on the side to help pour. Like this:https://www.amazon.co.uk/Medela-Dis...35&sr=1-3-catcorr&keywords=medela+feeding+cup

Or there's these medela soft cup feeders: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Medela-Sof..._sbs_by_1?ie=UTF8&refRID=1Y90JEREQX3A46DB7YYM but I think these are more for preemies.
