I also deal with this on the phone on a regular basis. What I say
depends on the age of the baby and the length/type of separation. For
infrequent separations and/or older babies who are taking other foods I
suggest cup feeding or solids. The babies will get enough sucking when
mom is around. I don't have a good answer for the young infant who
doesn't like a bottle.
