My son wouldn't take the bottle from ME, so tried with husband and it worked. Let someone else who the baby is comfortable with give her the bottle. She smells you and knows how she wants to get milk from you--and it doesn't involve a bottle!!! Once I returned to work my son was fine taking a bottle from the sitter and nursing when I'm around. Good Luck!

We had to just wait until our daughter went to school and have the teacher give it to her. The pediatrician said that if she was hungry, she would eat. By the middleof day #2, she was happily eating out of a bottle with no problems. BTW-before she started school, we tried to give her a bottle (same thing-every nipple, b___st milk and formula, etc.) and she would refuse it with gusto!

thank you so much ladies for the advice.I tried letting my husband feed her but she still wont take it,I will continue to let him feed her because I agree that if she is hungry she will eat
