you can try different bottles (DS loved the playtex drop ins) and also try having someone else feed her. i know that if DS saw me, or if i tried to feed him when he was little, he got upset because he preferred the boob.
good luck

I never tried to give Ryan a bottle. Always let someone else do it (usually DH). We always used Playtex Drop ins. And we never even tried to give him a bottle until he was 8 or 9 weeks old.

Have someone else do it- and keep trying. Every day, have DH try to give her a bottle. My DD went through the SAME thing and it took awhile. DH had to do it- and I could not be around at ALL.
Even now at 4 months old, she still will not take a bottle from me- and I can't be around when DH gives them.

no real advice because I am in the exact same boat. I go back March 16th and she wont take them. I started with the medela and playtex drop ins. she refused them and would scream. Ive tried adiri, nuby and breastflow. she seems to like them a little better, but it's not like she will take a full bottle. she will take maybe an ounce at most. also, she takes them best from me.
