I nurse my 4 month old daughter 100%, and I can't leave her with my husband or with a sitter because she refuses to take a bottle. She will only nurse. She will scream for 1 1/2 hours straight because she is hungry but WILL NOT take a bottle. How do we feed her if I am at work?

Have you tried using a different bottle? Avent bottles are supposed to be most like "boobies" (ha ha).  She might like it better.  Also try to leave something that smells like you, it's one thing that babies associate with feeding is smell and taste.  Even the way you hold the baby could make a difference... so if your husband isn't holding her right she might also refuse.  Try to make feeding time with other people the same as when you are feeding her.  These things might help.  Good Luck!
