Hi ladies. My first time on the formula thread as we have just started introducing a bottle over the past few days properly. Using sma gold and he seems to like it.
I just wanted to know how you went about going from bm exclusively to bottles and did your little ones cope with nipple to teat or did you have any confusion?
Also what happened to your milk supply as I don't want to drop bfing totally especially in the night.
My other question is how messy is your LO with a bottle as mine seems to get in all round his mouth and down his chin making for a wet neck whenever we have a bottle. Even with a bib on.
Oh he is 3 weeks 1 day and the problem we were having was he was crying for food every hour and I know this can be normal in the first few weeks but I was starting to feel really down about it and midwife said a happy mummy is better for baby than a sad one who still tries to feed to demand.
An thoughts or advice would be very much appreciated ladies - I love this site its got me through some tough times!
