G is 4.5 months old and mostly refusing bottles. I did what I was supposed to and gave her bottles by 6 weeks and it wasn't a problem, so we didn't do it that regularly. About a month or so ago she pretty much stopped taking them. We left her for several hours with my parents and eventually she did take the bottle, after a fair amount of crying.

Since I stay home with her it hasn't been a big issue, but we are planning to leave her with my parents overnight while we go to a wedding and I'll feel much better if she takes a bottle well by then! So, tips and tricks to get her to take one? Particularly if you usually nurse and are home alone with baby so there isn't necessarily anyone around to give the bottle but mom!
