Need Help... DS is no longer taking a bottle!
We have been trying to transistion DS from bm to formula for the third week so far. At daycare, he seems to do alright with 4 oz bm and 2 oz formula mix. Over the weekend, I tried giving him a bottle but he refused it. DH tried to give him a bottle and he refused it. He did not have any milk until 5pm, when I broke down and nurse him. The next day, not much better, but he did drink one bottle in two separate sessions (one I did, and one DH did) and 3 oz of a second bottle. Nothing since. He is now not taking a bottle even if its all breastmilk. How can I get him to take a bottle when I'm home. It's just not practical that I leave the house every time he has to eat. I was planning on completely stopping the daytime pumping, but now I don't think I can ever stop. Does anyone have any advice. I am feeling really desperate.

Could he be teething? My son wouldn't take a bottle when he was teething.

He just got two teeth in so I don't think that's it and he also takes the bottle at daycare. He just refuses when I am home with him.
