Kelli,

Thanks for sharing your own experience - wow, that must've been hard!
I know that quitting her job is not an option but I'll at least let her
know she's not alone!

take care
katherine

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!

Hi all!

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
katherine
