If she gets hungry enough, she will take a bottle.

I don't agree with that, patience. My baby is 10 months old, and he won't take a bottle either. Pacifiers, yes; but not a bottle. And I've been trying for a long time to get him to take one. Some babies just won't! Amber, have you tried lots of different shaped nipples? Are you giving her pumped b___stmilk? And if so, have someone other than you feed it to her. Good luck. I feel your frustration. :)

My pediatrician advised, if she is hungry enough, she will take a bottle. With #1, she did at 3 months, after 1 and half days at day care without eating! Then, there were no more problems. With this baby, though, she won't go to daycare until she is 5 mos (she is 3 mos now) and refuses to take a bottle. I believe that if she gets hungry enough, she will take it. At this point, though, she has not been hungry enough. Today, she went 7 hours without eating (I work half-days) and, although she ate well when I came home, she wasn't even that fussy. It seems like she knows that it is either the bottle or wait until mom gets home-is that even possible?
