While she was gone, she tried giving her a bottle of breast milk. She wouldn't touch it! I came home and she nursed just fine. She's going to HAVE to take a bottle eventually. How do you get her to do that??? We're using Playtex VentAires BTW (slow nipple) --------------------

I hope you figure it out -------------------- Jessica Wife to Salvador 12.23.05 Mommy to Isabella 8.8.06 & Isaia 1.2.08 & Ian 8.28.09

I can’t remember which Playtex style I used but I do remember them being kind of flat on top. Hugs Momma -------------------- You have the right to remain silent.

Like someone else said, it is trail and error until you find one that she will take to. -------------------- Mom to: CJ 7.03, Alexis 10.09, Taylin 5.11, and Emma and Issac 4.12.
