My daughter, 8 months, has been exclusivly breastfed since birth. I wanted to give her the healthiest start in life that I could, and up until now didn't have a reason to give her a bottle. My dilemma is this, our savings are low and one income isn't doing it for us anymore. I need to get a job! However, I don't want to start putting in applications until I know my daughter will be alright for at least 6-8 hours while I'm at work. I've tried everything from leaving her with someone else to give her the bottle, letting her get really hungry and trying first thing in the morning, every size, shape, flow of nipple you can imagine, and she refuses. So I've arranged to leave her with my mom and sister first thing in the morning tomorrow and they are convinced when she's hungery enough, she'll drink. My mom is the most loving, patient person I know and if anyone can do this, she can. I just feel very guilty leaving my daughter when I know she'll get hungry. Help!
