I have an 8 month old and she will not will not will not take a bottle, sippy anything!!! I have never been away from her for longer than 3 hours because she only eats from me. The closest we have gotten is drinking breastmilk from a straw. I have got to get some relief and leave her for longer than 3 hours..especially when I go back to work in August. Any advice ! I am willing to try or do anything!!! She also does not sleep thru the night. She has before ... but she is usually up every 2-3 hours... PLEASE HELP! :)

What kind of bottles have you tried so far?

August is still few months away, so that means that by then she will be 12 months, however you sound like you need a break. Have you tried someone else giving her bottle or a sippy cup? Sometimes babies will not take it from you because they know you have something better, but when another person gives it to them, then they might not have a choice.

Also, what is the baby eating through out the day?
