maybe you could put some water with a bit of sugar in the bottle to try to get Leo to drink from it? Drinking water seems to be a foreign concept to babies lol. iirc there also were different types of teats; some are actually quite hard to drink from because the opening is so small.
yeah i conflated 2-month old baby and 7-month old baby in my head :p fwiw my parents took me to the hospital when i was 9?-months old bc i refused to drink water and had gotten some sort of food poisoning
Congratulations!!

young babies can’t regulate their electrolytes and can die from excess water

Water? I don’t think trying to give a baby water is recommended at all.
The bottles are filled with pumped breastmilk so it’s the same substance he’s used to just different vessel.
Luckily the bottle situation has been improving, I think I found a better feeding position for the bottle :)

yeah sorry I conflated baby ages in my head : p
yay I’m glad he’s more willing to drink from a bottle now
