we made the decision as a couple that as i am due to go away for the weekend at the end of next mth, we would start combie feeding Elsie when she turns 4mths.
former bottle refuser, i have spent the last mth expressing and getting her to take a bottle, which she will now do, but she always needs to latch after as i cant express enough. so we will be introducing formula, to work on the next part of the battle: taking a bottle off someone else n letting daddy put her to bed!
bit of a pointless thread... i just wanted to vent about how im feeling... i feel like its the end of an era... i feel jealous that where only I could feed her, now 'anybody' will be able to do it... i feel sad that im taking my milk away from her and giving her 'plastic' milk (before anyone starts, my son was FF so i know its fine and i respect anyone who chooses to feed their child that way - i know my view is just irrational and hormonal at the moment so please dont take it the wrong way!) but at the same time, i feel kinda happy that i get some freedom back... that she should hopefully be more of a routine baby through the day, rather than a constant on demand baby!
but mostly... i wish i wasnt going away so i could continue feeding her myself...
