The first few weeks post op can be miserable.....just hang in there and know that you are not alone and it will all be behind you soon.
We were not allowed to give Jackson his pacifier until 6 weeks post op, and by then he didn't want it anymore. I know it is frustrating, but I would really try and stick with what the doctor said...I just always thought of it as sparing them from trouble down the road. As far as bottles go, what was she taking before surgery? Maybe you could try the pigeon feeder or the mead johnson bottle, that she doesn't have to actually "suck".
I would call the PS back and let them know how much trouble you are still having, and see if they will give you the okay to try some other things.
Good luck! I promise it will get better soon!
