Are you giving her formula in the bottle when you try? Or your milk? It might help if you pump and save your milk and try that in the bottle. The "What to Expect" books have some great tips, you should go to the library or buy a copy ("What to Expect the First Year, and What to Expect When You're Expecting). Or, talk to your doctor, I'm sure he can give some suggestions. Maybe if you are persistent & consistent in your attempts to bottle-feed her, she'll give in. Eventually, she'll be hungry enough to take it, but I'm in no way suggesting you starve her! She's still itty-bitty, so maybe a little more time is needed. There are so many factors to consider. She could even be allergic to the rubber nipple or something. Anyway, the doctor is probably your best bet. Talk to him FIRST, then try different methods of persuasion. Also, consider working from home. That might be an option that would work out for all of you! Best of luck!

Sorry, I just noticed you said you didn't know what to do from home. If you have any typing experience, try something like medical transcription or data entry. There are a lot of opportunities out there. Browse the web or some others topics in this forum for ideas.
