One possibility for this baby who won't take the bottle is to try cup
feeding or feeding with a spoon.  My husband's humorous try to get our
baby to eat was to put her in the swing and use a playtex nurser.  When
she swung forward he would spray the milk into her wide-open, screaming
mouth.  This would take her by surprise and she would stop crying to
swallow the milk.  Finally, he called me at 3 a.m. to see if I could
come home and nurse her.  I was able to drive the 5 min. ride home and
nurse. I do think cup, spoon, or finger-feeding may be a better
alternative.  ILCA has a wonderful tape from their convention last year
on cup feeding.  Let me know if you need more info on cup feeding.
