My daughter and I are happily nursing but I will go back to work in a month. I'm a teacher. I have started letting my husband feed our daughter one bottle a day and she HATES it.I don't think she's getting enough (only 1 to 2 oz) We've tried different nipples, latex and silicone, a million shapes.... no can do. I want to know what are some alternate ways to feed our daughter breastmilk. She will be three and half months when she goes to childcare. I was thinking we could introduce her to rice cereal and have her childcare provider feed her that during the day but I'm afraid to introduce it too early. HELP!

Sippy cup - one of my sons never took a bottle - I would not recommend solids until 4 - 6 months old.
