DD Refusing to take bottle at nursery

OK.. I know its early days and she has only had 3 settling in sessions so far... but DD (9.5 months) is refusing to take her mid morning bottle (and assume she will do the same with the late afternoon one too). I have NEVER had this problem with her before. I know its all new to her, and she has been quite unsettled so far.

Can someone pleaes re-assure me that she will eventually drink something. I am now getting worried that she won't drink during the day. I don't even think she took her water with lunch today. She will be in the whole day tomorrow :-(

She should drink eventually. My DS was the same - he was generally breastfed, but had taken bottles of expressed milk from DH and babysitters plenty of times with no problems. He refused in his settling sessions and we weren't too fussed, but then on his first proper day he refused and I had to go in and feed him during my lunch hour!

It really wasn't what I needed at my first day back at work, but within a few days he was drinking fine, and I think I only needed to go in one more time. He just needed to get used to the strange place and new people, and then he relaxed about drinking his milk (and water) as well.
