Solid Food Advice

Hi, I am a mom to twin 6 month olds and we have just begun solid foods after being exclusively breastfed. My son is a champ and loves anything I give him, however I am having problems with my daughter. She cries and screams anytime I try to feed her solid foods, basically just refusing to eat; then when I pick her up she roots and roots to be nursed because she is hungry. The Dr. told me to make sure to feed her real food but it's just been a battle. Has this happened to anyone? Can you tell me how to get her to eat and not rely on...

Bottle Feeding an Infant

Does anyone have any suggestions about getting an infant to take a bottle? My husband and I have been working with our newborn (twelve weeks old) for about 8 weeks now and she still won't take a bottle. She is a super light eater to begin with. She only nurses for a total of 9 or 10 minutes despite trying all sorts of things. We are trying to get her on a bottle so we can monitor the amount she's getting (we'd like her to gain more weight). My husband has tried switching bottles, feeding her while she's sleepy, changing positions while...
