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

Have to be firm and let someone else do the feeding. They will scream and wail like no tomorrow but no choice unless you willing to be SAHM. Initially my LO also cry murder whenever the bottle is near her, refused to suck from the bottle. When she is really hungry she will then learn to drink from the bottle. Took her about a week or two to finally stop fighting against the bottle. If you intend to latch when you are free then leave bottle feeding to others.
