Wasn't sure where to post, but think here is the best.
my 2-months-old is breast fed, but i express ang give it in the bottle couple times a week. it was all g=fine until this week the baby changed her mind. she won't the bottle. i was out the other day doing a course and she went for 7 hours without food (though slept most of that period) until i got back home. DH tried his best but she just was taking it and that was it.
i tried to give her bottle yesterday, she took a few mouthfuls and that was it as well.
any advise, please?

That happened us when DD was about 6 weeks old - she used to get 1 bottle a day from DH but for some daft reason 3 days went by when we didn't give her a bottle and then she refused it. It took about 5 days of trying before we got her back on it - and the way we did it was to have a bottle ready for her before she was totally awake for her night feed - she was half asleep and started drinking it without realising. had no problems from then on.

Thanks for reply, norab2b.

Will try that, though the baby likes to be fully awake before she starts her "meal"
tried this afternoon to give her bottle, and she didn't take it again
i have to go to my course tomorrow morning and have no idea what DH is going to do if she doesnt take the bottle for him, and i'll be out for about 6 hours.

any luck getting her to take the bottle ?
