She won't starve. What she may do is reverse cycle so eat more when with you and nap/sleep eat less during the day.

R would hardly ever take one too. We had bottle boot camp the weekend before she started. I would pump and DH gave her a bottle Sat and Sun when she would have been at day care. She fought it but by Sunday, she even took a bottle from me. She will eat if she gets hungry enough. She will be up more at night though.

Oh, good luck! I was in the same boat up until only about a week ago: LO started a couple days of daycare last week, and got super angry when they offered her a bottle on the first day (which is the same reaction she'd been giving every other time she'd been offered a bottle in her life). She'd only been accepting a pacifier for about a month, but finally after that first day of daycare I was determined to make bottles work. Like @Smurfette:, we did a "bottle boot camp," where my husband would give her a bottle while I pumped, and we basically had to just wear her down. She definitely still prefers one type of bottle (the Lansinoh Momma) over all the others that we've bought and tried, but as long as she's willing to accept it, I'll take it.

I spent most of maternity leave, hundreds on bottles, and 100+oz in milk trying to get LO to take a bottle before going to daycare. It made no difference. She got the hang of her Medela bottles a couple days into daycare. Your LO will get it too.
