Soon I am going to start working nights...

How do I go about pump and such?
DD has never had a bottle and won't take one..

what do I do?

Maybe she would take it in a sippy? Have you tried someone giving her a bottle of EBM when you are not around? At least if you are working overnight she won't need fed much while you are gone. Do you normally nurse her during the night? If not you might not have to pump more than once or twice.

girl i was right there with you this time last year... my ds would NOT take a bottle (any brand) but my dh did have some luck with a sippy cup... the nuk ones with the latex nipplish top. im not much help... also make sure your dh knows that to not give it straight from the freezer... i guess something got lost in translation in our house

good luck!
