3mos old DD started to refuse a bottle. She was being nursed and bottle fed fine for the first 2.5 months untile 10 days ago - now she has been refusing bottles. We tried my expressed milk, different bottles, different formulas, etc. Today is my first day back at work and I am so worried about her. Has any of you experienced anything like this? What can I do?

I would venture to say nearly everyone wohm who breastfed has experienced this. the la leche league website has some decent articles about it. It is temporary and you will both get through it. [ Reply | More

Has someone else tried bottle-feeding her or just you? She might be totally fine taking bottle from someone else. Plus, if that's all that's offered, she certainly won't starve herself and will eventually adapt. Good luck. [ Reply | More

OP: She also refuses to take bottles from my husband and her nanny. I spoke with my nanny and she told me that she was not taking bottles .... it breaks my heart! [ Reply | More

I'm so sorry. That is hard. Does she have a favorite/soothing place she likes to be (e.g., swing, bouncy chair) and your nanny/husband can try it there? My friend's dd would only take bottles in the bathtub for the longest time but hey, that's what worked for them. [ Reply | More

I was in same situation 1.5 months ago. The babysitter was great with dd - very patient, trying different things (but not formula - too many changes at once, I thought!) - and it worked out fine. We tried Dr. Brown's, Avent, and some other bottles. Some things she tried: feeding dd in various positions (bouncy seat, swing, lap, etc.), trying bottle at varying temps. Go figure - DD wound up liking to grasp nanny's finger while she fed. GL [ Reply | More
