Help! Here I am being taught once again that when you think something about someone else it always comes back to haunt you. Mothers call all the time telling me they are going back to work tomorow and their baby will not take a bottle. I always think why did they wait so long? Well.... I, of course, made sure I started a bottle early. In fact, in this forum I won't even tell you how early exactly. I happened to have used an Avent, but that is irrelevent. My baby took it with no problems. At about 3 weeks, we went to America, and due to the travelling, etc the opportunity never arose to pump and give a bottle. I came back to Israel at five weeks, started back into house calls and work, and what do you know... I AM MAJORLY STUCK. From 5 weeks to 12 weeks, which she will be Sunday when I go back to work, my husband has tried everything. Avent, Nuk, Gerber, el cheapo, syringe, cup, and this dear girl will take NOTHING. She will scream for hours straight. Today I had a FUNERAL and I could not bring her. She screamed for 2 hours, my neighbor tried everything, even nursing her (her baby is 6 weeks older) and nothing worked. I am under tremedous pressure just knowing I cannot leave her, and I cannot imagine how I will go back to my housecalls and private business. SOMEONE MUST HAVE SOME ADVICE TO GIVE ME! I promise I will never think bad about any mother that calls me again...Just solve my problem!
