    • you have to start forcing the issue or it won't be pretty for anyone when you go back to work. start by having dh give her a bottle when you're not home. you just have to keep at it and eventually she'll take it because she has no other choice. I didn't offer a bottle until dd was almost a month and I regretted it later--had a similar problem but it worked out fine in the end.

        • sorry--had to step away--the type of bottle didn't matter.

    • My eldest never took the bottle either. When I went back to work, our caregiver spoon fed breastmilk and it worked until sippy cup time. Good luck!
