My 3.5m/o LO has been rejecting milk bottles (I have tried a few different types but he only wants direct latch) and doesn't allow anyone to carry him but me. What should I do with the above 2 situations since I am going back to work soon and he will be going to infant care? Should I leave it and hope that things will naturally improve once he starts infant care? TIA

It's normal for direct latch baby to reject bottle feeding & it takes a lot of patience to encourage her to bottle feed. For a start you might wish to spoon feed her instead of direct latching to encourage her to drink instead of latching. Then slowly introduce her the bottle. She will accept the new caregiver & drink from the bottle very soon.
