I go back to work Sunday and I've been trying to get LO to take a bottle for six weeks now with no luck. I've bought every flippin bottle possible. I have the mOmma bottle waiting for him when he wakes up, it's my last resort! Prayers please! Poor daddy is going to have a looooong 12 hours Sunday if not.

DH has been feeding my LO with an oral medicine syringe and once she gets a bit, switches over to the bottle. It's been working better than anything else we've tried.
B will take the bottle best when DH mimics exactly what I do -- skin-to-skin, putting the nipple of the bottle on her top lip and letting her discover it herself, etc. and make sure it's not a nipple issue -- like too fast flowing or something. We're still using preemie nips for B.
I've also heard that breast fed babies respond better when someone other than mom offers the bottle. I'm glad he took it for you!
I was going to say the same. I have a friend who can't even be in the house if she wants her LO to take a bottle. Another has to at least leave the room and she'll still only take it from her husband.

Ya my kid is the opposite. He's yet to take a single bottle from my DH. Lol. He even tried wearing my pajama top. With a lot of persuading he would take an oz or so from me but today was the best yet!

I tried to bottle feed LO yesterday and she spit the milk out and wouldn't drink. I had to nurse her instead. Tricky little lady she is. DH has no problems at all.

DH has no problems at all.
