Dear Nola, Forgot how to breastfeed? Sounds like engorgement/oversupply/overactive MER turned baby off to breastfeeding. Try putting baby to breast after expressing/pumping long enough to stop dripping/spraying. Transitioning through finger-feeding is a good idea. Might also want to try nipple shield as a transitioning aid if the finger isn't working. One way or the other, mom needs to see baby at breast as soon as possible. Unless they are really dedicated to the idea of breastfeeding, these moms with a baby that has already done well with a bottle are often not willing to wait for extended periods of time to get baby nursing. They will say that the baby is trying to show that he prefers the bottle and they are comfortable with that. Good luck.
