Hi there,

It is always hard when you feel like you have to make a decision, to go back to work, yet it wouldn't be your ideal choice. Manta has given some great ideas. The sippy cup is good.
But, if you want her to take a bottle - stay calm - she will be fine. Make sure the top of the bottle isn't too tight, so milk drips out freely. Try her with the bottle, but without pressure - don't let it turn into a screaming match or a battle of wills. If she is really hungry she might not be in a mood to try - feed her first, and then let her have a little try at the end of the feed with the bottle when she's relaxed and sleepy. Try to feed her when you are walking around outside - when she's distracted. Or when she is sleepy before bed. Get her dad to try - sometimes he will succeed when you won't. In a few weeks you'll be wondering what all the fuss was about.
