Layla has been in daycare full-time for two days now and she has wanted nothing to do with her bottle. Today they tried 5 different types of bottles and she wouldn't take any of them. She's never been the best at drinking from a bottle...but we've always been able to manage at least 2 oz. They are having no luck at all! Tomorrow I suggested they not feed her food mid-morning and just do the bottle around 11:30 and see how that goes. My guess is that she's just not hungry enough to go for the bottle. She has been eating every 4 hours at home with a little food occasionally in between. They've been feeding her an entire jar around 9 and then trying to feed her a bottle about 2 hours later.
I'm hoping things go better tomorrow with our new strategy!
I think I've learned my lesson - fear of "nipple confusion" is silly! At least for babies who had no problems latching on right away. I am definitely starting the bottle very early on next go around!

Sorry I cut it short tonight. I hope things get better quickly for Layla. I am sure it will be hard but she will eventually give in. Sorry you have to leave her everyday knowing she wont take a bottle. Love ya sis!
