Going Back to Work
My maternity leave is all but over and I am desperately trying to savor the last few moments I have with Maddie before returning to a busy call schedule. I have successfully nursed her over the past two and a half months during which time she did demonstrate the ability to take a bottle. Now however, she utterly refuses. Brian and I have tried just about everything and we are at our wit's end. To boot, Maddie is no longer sleeping through the night. I think she senses change on the horizon. Any recommendations from other moms out there would be more than appreciated.

Congrats on being so successful nursing her! 2.5 months is great. As for getting her to take the bottle....trying a variety of nipples or having only people other than you feed her might help (i.e. she knows Brian don't got the "goods") so she might be more willing to take a bottle from him. When she's hungry enough - she'll take it. Good luck at work...keep us posted!
I was going to offer the same advice as Trish... Try lots of different bottle types, I know Will had his favorites. And again, not coming from mom might be the best bet at first. Good luck - are you starting day care soon?
