Hello, I had a couple in today with a 2-month old baby. Mom has been trying EVERYTHING to get this baby to take a bottle, from 4 weeks of age. The baby has a total aversion to anything other than breast in her milk. We tried every nipple and bottle under the sun (NUK, Evenflo, long nipple, slow flow nipple, single whole nipple, finger feeding, even a new bottle on the market shaped like a breast). The baby screams, chokes, gags on everything. The mom works 15 miles away from the caregiver. Caregiver is going crazy. Any suggestions? We tried feeding the baby when she is just waking up, holding the baby facing away from caregiver, holding the baby in cradle hold with expressed milk on a blanket next to her. ARGH. Incidently, this is a 2-woman couple, not a traditional mom and dad. I didn't ask any questions about THAT. Well, any suggestions would be helpful and appreciated, as this "couple" is at wits end (and so is the baby!)
