What do I do???

I am posting this on both the 0-3 and 3-6 month wall because my daughter is 3 months old and I need some advice. On vacation with my daughter at my in laws this last weekend, LO suddenly decided that she does not want to nurse. Everytime the second my nipple got anywhere near her mouth, she screamed. She didn't even try and latch on. She turned her hear the second I removed the nursing pad. However, the second I got a bottle ready she would latch on, no problem and if I let her eat from that for a minute or so, I could switch out the bottle with my nipple and she would nurse no problem. I have never had trouble with her latching. She may have quit too soon, but never with her latching. This happened for 3 days straight. It started in the morning and there seemed to be no issue that started it. I am not smelly or anything and the bottles all are breast milk. I am at wits end! Every night I need to get a bottle warmed up at 3am while my daughter screams and it is driving me nuts. Again, once we get her initially started she has no problem switching over.

If it's only been like this since you're on vacation it could be because of the change of environment and "should" go back to normal when you get home.
