[quote=Anonymous]Even if she never takes it, she will be ok. I know it's hard to believe but you've been through it before so you know. My second never took a bottle, even when she went to day care. All that stuff about how the day care ladies can get any baby to take a bottle? I'm sure it's true for most, but not for my insanely stubborn kid. They wound up having to spoon feed her the milk for months. It sucked for everyone but they were really nice about it.

The real downside was because she wouldn't take a bottle, and thus didn't eat much during the day, she wanted to nurse at night. And I felt like i couldn't cut her off because she needed the calories. And she was skinny. I wanted to stop nursing at 12 months but she had other ideas. She nursed until 18 months when she finally dropped her night feed on her own. At 19 months she was completely weaned. Now she is 4 and eats normally (though still is reasonably skinny) and I barely think about it anymore.

So, you will be fine! But that said ... keep trying different bottles just in case. But don't freak out.[/quote]
