he just wont suck on a bottle :(

[littlesmoosh]

hey guys! having some problems with my little man.
ive been breastfeeding since he was born (2 and a half months ago)
and its really taxing on me! hes still feeding every couple of hours and only sleeps for a maximum of 3 hours in a row.
ive tried feeding him my milk out a bottle so many times. ive tried a few different types of teats but nothings working.
ive tried to feed him and so has my partner but he just wont suck on the teat!
he kind of gums it for a while then gets frustrated that the milks not flowing out. its like he doesnt know to suck on it.
im desperate to get him to take the bottle, ive never been apart from him for more than half an hour (except when in the house). and as much as i love my little man and really enjoy nursing him, i really need some 'me time' once in a while.
any suggestions? anyone been through this?

Pinky princess had this problem. Could you try a sippy cup that's free flowing and requires no sucking?? Like a tommee tippee one x
