She had her first day at "school" yesterday while mommy went to work for a couple of hours; I officially start back full time on Tuesday, 1/3/12. She didn't take a single bottle while at school, so I'm worried now. So the whole weekend will be consumed with trying out different bottles...AGAIN! Whew! The teachers at school said that she was smiling and happy, just wouldn't take a bottle! :-( But everyone there is so nice, so I know that she's in good hands! I'll just feel better when she eats there!
Below are just some random pics that I've taken over the past couple of days:

Sounds like she's learning to cope in a different place without you. I'm an infant teacher (6 years) and have seen this before.
Did she spend most of her time there sleeping?
Babies will cope by either sleeping a lot or eating a lot. And if they're focused on one of those coping mechanisms they ignore the other.
If this is the case you don't have to worry about changing her bottles -it may just make it so it takes longer to adjust to everything.
Also, it takes a minimum of 2 weeks for a baby to fully adjust to daycare and get into a solid routine. In all the years I've worked with infants, it's been very rare that a child going full time (mon-fri) took longer than 2 weeks to adjust.
Hope all is going better for you guys! congrats on such a sparkly baby!
Awww what a cute family you are!
