I need to return to work for financil reasons (definately not a personal choice but I have no other choice).

DD, 3mths, had a full bottle at 3 days old when my milk came in and I was too engorged for her to lactch on so I expressed it of and gave her a bottle. She has also had a small amount of water and brown sugar for suspected constapation, but that was at like 5weeks old. Since then she has not had a bottle at all.

My DF and I are trying to get her to take a bottle, but its like she either has no idea what to do with it, or will not accept it. She ends up getting so worked up and screaming that I end up putting her on the boob cause she is distreased.


I really need to get her to take a bottle, I dont have any other option. Please someone give some tips for me to be able to get her to take a bottle.
