i have breastfed my baby girl and have now put her onto bottles (from 6 months, been doing it for a few weeks) and i do struggle with feeding her a bottle myself at the moment but she is getting better WITH ME, and she definatley does prefer the breast. But any one else that tries to feed her unless she is really really hungry she will have an absolute screaming fit with until shes passed back to me and im so worried about going back to work in a months time because she gets herself so worked up and i really dont want this happening as its so horrible for her and i dont like her being so upset. has anyone got any advise? :(
also she arches her back and starts jumping around like shes having a paddy and this is at every meal time

If you go out for the day, or if she goes off with someone else for the day, does she take a bottle then?

Not unless she's really hungry, and still only from me but the thing is I can feed her whole she is sat or lay down in her pram an prop the bottle up for her and she is quite happy then I just don't get it Confused

it a comfort thing, she associates you with the process, just make sure you go out as much as possible, so she can practice with your partner, or whoever gives you support.
