I posted before but now I am really desperate. I start work in a week and my 4 month dd does not take the bottle at all. I have tried 4 different kinds, tried 2 different formulas, my breastmilk, my dh feeding her, me trying, I have tried it all and she wont take it!!! What will the first days be like when the babysitter watches her!?!?!?!

Have you tried the "breastflow" bottle by The First Years? DS likes that one...

you can also try spoon feeding her or using a cup. i know it sounds crazy but a bottle is a relatively new invention.

Miriam, good point! I have not tried spoon fulls, but as you say a bottle is a new thing! thanks !!!

My daughter who also hates bottles will take the NUK orthodontic latex ( the yellow one) nipple. Even then she still has to be extremely calm in order to take it.

search for "spoon" in lalecheleague.org. they have some useful ideas.
