Im curious (in regards to your post below) how you weaned your dd from the breast because she wouldn't take a bottle? Im in the same boat (DD2 won't take a bottle) and she will scream for hours before I give in. How did you eventually get her to take a bottle? How long did it take you? I'm considering weaning eventually so she'll take a bottle. I can't leave the house for very long and it's frustrating. Thanks!

I'm gonna be honest... there were a lot of tears... from both of us.  It sucked...

Finally I just had to say no more breast.  It finally took her a few hours (not sure... maybe 4?) to just give in.  The hardest part was that, that was that... we were done... know what I mean? After she took that first bottle, that was it... we were in the clear.  

Good luck!  I know it sucks...

Thanks! We've tried on occasion and she's gone 6 + hours with out eating. But we know that once she takes a bottle, we have to stop with the breast or she won't be able to go back & forth. The few times have been hard and I just give in because I feel like I'm causing her to cry. So good to know someone else is in my same boat. DD1 went back and forth from breast to bottle with no problems and I didn't prepare myself for this I dont want to stop bfing but I have to be able to leave the house.
