[quote=Anonymous]Same. For all 3 of my lovely children. Don't stress about it. All 3 of my kids had rocky (ahem, hungry) starts at daycare but then took bottles easily from daycare. We did absolutely everything, including giving bottles daily, but it didn't seem to matter.

My current baby will only take bottles from daycare or when I'm not home. She just has such a strong preference for nursing.

Lansinoh momma was the only bottle any of mine would take, even once they took bottles easily for daycare, they would only take the one brand. Also, make sure you aren't feeding frozen milk and that the temp is perfectly 98.6 degrees.

With my 2nd baby we didn't stress bottle at all or make a big deal of it, and he took bottles the easiest from daycare (but wouldn't for us!). With baby 1, I think she was traumatized by us trying bottles so much and how much she cried over not wanting a bottle. I pumped and she refused a bottle for 2 weeks before starting school. WHY did I do that?! I could have instead had 2 more weeks of enjoyable breastfeeding. I think it gave her even more of a bottle aversion. [/quote]
