If you're returning to work and need to get baby to take a bottle, there are lots of different techniques to choose from. You can try switching up breastmilk and formula throughout the day (if you're planning to switch to formula) or having someone else feed baby from a bottle intermittently (if you'll be pumping during the day). No matter what method you go with, there's sure to be an adjustment period -- just keep reminding yourself that a few bumps along the way are not an indication that you're doing the wrong thing.
