is this teething?

[Yellowtail123]

my 15 week old baby has randomly stopped taking a bottle - I’ve been combo feeding for a few weeks and has been working well. Usually a bottle of formula in the morning & 1 before bed but breast feeding in the day.

she will not take the bottle at all now.

she’s really dribbling, going through 2 bibs a day, chewing on her hands a lot. Just seems unsettled.

I’m a bit concerned I might not have enough milk supply to go back to exclusively breast feeding as I dropped the feeds to do bottles.

has anyone else experienced this, could it be teething related?

I'd check with the health visitor. Mine did start teething at 3 months but would refuse anything/chew on anything and not just bottle. You can have a look if the gums are inflamed and if baby likes frozen cloths to chew on. Mine decided however that they did not like the bottle at all, so had so fully breastfeed. Sometimes changing the teets of the bottle helps. They have different flows/feels to them. If you want to increase your own supply, you can pump after feeding which signals your body that it needs to produce more.
