Plei, my former colleague that had the same problem only managed to solve it with a three day business trip to Chicago. Her daughter refused EVERYTHING as well at daycare (but fortunately, the daycare was close enough that she could go there twice a day for nursing). But once Mamma was out for a few days, Tess accepted the bottle.
Good luck. I hope you can find something that will be acceptable to the Lilybean.
If you work for a really, really nice and understanding employer, is "I feel like crying for no good reason" a valid excuse for going home and going to bed?
It could work.
Something like, "I'm unable to work at my best today as I have a psychical crisis occurring. I will return when I've overthrown the dark overlords of doom who are destroying the planet Glaxon and screwing with my emotions (wherein my magical strength resides) as a result."
I love Deena.
I also love my Bitches. I understood the basic concept of binary, but not how to figure the numbers. I get it now. I feel all smart.
As an aside on bases, while we operate in base 10 most of the time, we non-mathy sorts also use base 12 and base 60 all the time when dealing with, well, time. Hours, minutes, seconds. That's how I've explained different bases with practical applications to people. Seems to work most of the time.

It can be confusing, though, since twelve in base twelve is 10, not 12. So you're counting in a new base, but not notating in it.
Or something.
Can I just say how awesome it is to come in here and spend the morning playing catch up reading about binary, and math geekery, and creation v naturalism as it applies to mathiness?
As an interesting development in one of those subjects. NASA research has recently found an abundance of complex organic molecules in space.

Harvey is currently engaged in expressing to me how very lonely and underappreciated he is. No one ever holds him. I can tell this by the vigor with which he is purring as I hold him. It's like a special treat that he gets to be held for just a few hours each day.
Plei, I'm sorry Lily had such a rough first day at daycare. I have no advice from experience, but I have heard to try many different types of bottles and nipples. My friend's EBF baby refused all "breast-like" nipples, but was happy with the cheapest regular one.
IEllieN, Ellie's having her own rough day. She has been crying almost non-stop today. Sometimes it appears to be a genuine tantrum (like when I leave the room) but other times she just seems really sad. She's on her 4th nap of the day - all she wants to do is nurse with me lying next to her.
Ah, poor Ellie. I hope she starts feeling better.
It's 0/0 where we say, "No no no don't go there, that's the bad place!"
I do adore Emily.
Sorry about Lily's boobie issues, Ellie's ughy feeling and giggling madly over Crawling!Mal. Buffistas make good babies and good stories.
