Yes, it does sound "normal" for a totally BF baby. We are finding that
introducing the bottle around week 3-4 is better for acceptance. I would
guess baby could chew more on an Avent nipple. Mom could try a sippy cup
or spoon feeding. There is that bottle with the double nipple,
breastflow, I think, that might work. Not making any money off this
statement but that bottle nipple seems kind of chewable to me. Sometimes
it takes time and the caregiver doing the feeding. I often suggest mom
breastfeed first and then if she is the only one who can offer the
bottle for training before she goes back to work, then try nursing on
one side to make baby happy and give bottle with one ounce breastmilk in
it and allow baby to "play" with it in her mouth. Do not try to force
feed with a bottle when baby is starving and crying.
Good luck, Kathy Eng, BSW, IBCLC
