[quote=nannydebsays]I am sure that you could hire someone, but I think you may just need to tough it out and keep offering bottles. If you have a neighbor that could help you during the day (or if your DH was available any time he was needed) here's what I'd suggest: Make sure you have an appropriately sized nipple. Too slow or fast and baby will give up trying. Wear a night gown or t-shirt the night before and have the bottle feeder drape the shirt over themselves so baby smells you. Offer the bottle in a different place than baby usually eats. Associations with BF can make baby refuse bottles. If necessary, have baby sit in a high chair or a "baby recliner seat" to drink. Again, not being held may help with accepting a different food source. Make sure your sub can stay calm, because as PP said, baby will eat if she is hungry enough. The transition may take a few days, which means you'll be feeding a lot at night, but it will happen.[/quote]
