breastfeeding and working full time

[emeeorevan]

I EBF my daughter for her first month, then I went back to work full time. She did really well nursing in early mornings, evening,and night while taking bottles of expressed milk during the day. Then came summer break! I've been off work for two months and I return to work on Monday, however lo refuses the bottle now! I've tried to give her a bottle once a day during summer but she refused to take it from me and my hubby was too impatient to get her to take the bottle ! What do I do! Any advice?

My lo will sometimes refuse the bottle when I am home but will gladly take it when I am gone. Maybe yours will too?

Go back to hubby and tell him that a baby requires more patience from him and needs his help to get used to the bottle again.

My DH is impatient with feeding too, but I just ask him to do it anyway.

Keep trying. It took my lo a few days of screaming to accept that the bottle was what she was getting. Also have your husband offer the bottle before she starts crying for it... Might help
