Oh I wish I could help. My son did the same thing and screamed for hours on end for my husband. He wouldn't take expressed milk from a bottle for anything! After 6 weeks of frustration, I ended up having to quit my job at the time. It was very stressful for all of us at the time, but it was well worth it in the end. I know that quitting a job isn't the answer for everyone, but it was the only thing that ended up being the solution for our family!

Wondering if any of you have friends/clients who have dealt with this.
My friend who's baby is now 3 months and just returned to work a few weeks ago is finding
that her baby is all of a sudden refusing to drink breastmilk out of a bottle from her husband
or her babysitter. The breastfeeding is going great and up until she returned to work the
baby was fine about taking an occasional bottle. They have tried Dr. Brown's, Avent, Playtex
and cup feeding - but in the past few weeks it's been such a struggle whenever the Mom is
not home! Babies are so smart:)
Any advice that I can offer her??
thanks
