We did not breast feed our daughter but did run into a similar problem when we switched her from formula to regular milk (about 9 mos - 1 yr). The milk tasted so much more bitter than the formula that she refused to take it. Our solution ? We mixed the two gradually. At first we put in about 1/8 bottle 2% milk and 7/8 bottle formula. Within about 3 weeks we had her on just milk. Again, I'm not familiar with breast feeding but if you could mix mom's milk with formula a little at a time it might do the trick. This assumes the bottle nipple would not be a problem. -- Joe Guilliams ..!ihnp4!we53!busch!djg The Anheuser-Busch Companies; St. Louis, Mo.
