If someone new read this message without having read your previous posts
about returning to work and feeding with a bottle I am afraid they would
get the wrong impression and give the wrong advice.

We all know that since starting to bottle feed regularly your daughter
has developed nipple confusion and the accompanying bottle preference.
We have suggested many times in the past that you either eliminate or
strictly limit bottle feeding, but you either won't or can't do that.

The thing is I try EVERY time she's hungry. I first offer her to nurse
and then she'll throw a fit. I became weary of this routine. I tried
soft spout cups but she won't take them either. The least problematic
time for me is during the night and soon after waking up in the
morning. These days she's not even nursing well in the mornings. So
I'm trying to save what little nursing session I have left.


As long as you continue to bottle feed the way you are, you will continue
to have this problem. Other than to repeat the advice to eliminate or
strictly limit bottle feeding, I don't know what to say.


I work outside of home fulltime. I tried to give her cups but she
won't take them. I tried after removing the clear plastic valve inside
(Avent sippy cups) but still she won't take them.

: Thanks.

Wish I could help,
