Baby chewing bottle teat

Trying to introduce my EBF baby to bottles now that there’s times we won’t be together..looking back on it I should have started using bottles from the start but didn’t think about this hurdle. As you can imagine baby has no idea what to do with a bottle despite trying loads of different ones and all flow types..it’s becoming rather costly and the frustration is real. No matter what bottle we try she just chews on the teat. How do I get my baby to drink from the bottle and not just chew on it?

We use NUK perfect match bottles. Not bank breaking on price and very similar to breast. My little girl (EBF) prefers these over any other bottle. I think it's just one of those things where you just got to keep giving it to baby and they'll eventually work it out

I am having the same issue! Will try the NUK, we had more success with MAM than Tommee Tippee. Annoying as he used to take a bottle but we let it slide

@Hayley oh yeah bubba hated mam and tommee tippee bottles. She seems to like the lansinoh bottle she grabs at that one when we take it away but still only chews it haha

Would they take milk from a straw cup? Seeing as they advise no bottles from a year, it seems counter productive to try and get them to take one for the next 5 months? X

My little girl was the same , just chewed on them and messed around. I ordered some lansinoh teats (they fit on mam bottles if you have them) as they were highly recommended. She has taken to them really well, I’ve noticed she does best with it at bedtime as that’s when she is most hungry, so trying to get her use to it and then will try again in the day xx

My baby is the same. We have had her on sippy cups instead and its more of a free flow and she drinks from that. Not properly she still just bites on it but because it flows out abit she drinks it :) she has a couple tommee tippee bottles and just bites them aswell🤷🏼‍♀️ the sippy cups seem to work though so could try them?
