Bottle feeding help
Can he bring her to work on your breaks? My hubby would bring Molly on my lunch break, (i got barely any milk from pumping) Also like they said medicine droppers or medicine cups we used medicine cups a few time cause I was trying to avoid the bottle in the beggining. I am sorry this is happening its wonderful you pump for her and work its hard I know! I hope it gets worked out soon!

I think I have tried all of them that I can find. The only ones I haven't tried are the Avent and that's because they leak so bad. There's even one by First Years that has a double nipple that "lets down" like a breast that she started off not minding as much (that's how hubby was getting the ounce down her), but it's just not enough to get an ounce down her the whole day.
Darn! That was the one I was going to suggest!
How often does she nurse after work, during the night and before you go to work? My little guy goes 8 -10 hours at night without eating (except when he is going though a growth spurt), so really if she is cluster feeding before/after work and is still waking at night to feed then you might be ok. She isn't going to starve herself, have your husband keep offering the bottle and keep nursing her on demand when you are home.

And if you can get DH to bring her to you at work even just once a day then that would be a plus too. Good luck!!
