I  believe they are feeding the breastmilk and the formula with the same  
bottles/nipples, same speed, etc, but are telling me that baby refuses to  
drink the bottled breastmilk and yet happily takes the bottled formula....Have 
 you ever encountered this situation, and/or do you have any thoughts on 
what  may be going on?


Actually yes I have seen babies refuse expressed milk in a bottle both for  
"digestive" reasons, and for "respiratory" reasons. In the respiratory 
case:  Same bottle, same nipples, will be different speeds with formula and 
expressed  milk. I'm not sure if I said that clearly in my post, sorry if it was 
already  obvious and now I'm just boring...:)
Peace,
