He did it in the past. She never really got over having a fit about it, but she will take it.
At least she did back when she was really young and I had to work. She's 9.5 months old and has not been taking milk from him for months. I work from home 2 days a week, and when I do go to the office he will bring her by sometimes for a meal, or I skip out an hour early and make it up that night, so really only 3 days a week she might have to wait 7 hours to get milk. She starts nursing the minute I get through the door, and keeps it up all night long. He started trying to give her milk again all last week and this week, now in a sippy cup thing that is less offensive than a bottle, but she won't drink hardly any, she prefers water from him. Any evening that I am gone after 8, she's upset and can't be comforted and just falls asleep eventually, only to wake up a few hours later still unconsolable.
I know they will live through it, I just feel like it will be horrid for both of them. This working with a baby thing is A LOT harder than I thought it would be! Thanks for the response, I think just knowing its not that weird to be so worried is helping me out. I get the sense from people at the office that I'm just a silly first time mom who needs to toughen up and let the baby cry...
I totally freaked out when I had to travel for work the first time when my daughter was 4.5 months - I think it's pretty normal. She did take a bottle from my husband so I left some pumped milk and then he gave her formula when that ran out. The first time he had to give her the bottle she did cry a lot but he told me after that it was fine.
