Any advice on breastfeeding full time and changing to pumping? my daughter won't take a pacifier so unsure if she will take a bottle but I'm going to try! Anybody with experience? Thanks!
 
Try having someone else give her the bottle for the first time. My LO wouldn't take a bottle from me at first, but would from my DH or my mom. Stick with it, if she refuses, try again the next feeding and the next. Stay relaxed, babies will be anxious if you are! I'm sure she'll take the bottle no problem :)

I just started pumping 50% of LO's feedings since I'm heading back to work next week. It's a lot of pumping/storing/cleaning and repeat throughout the day, but LO takes his bottles no problem and then takes the boob at night.
 
Mine took a bottle no problem, thank goodness. I won't give him a bottle though, because I think that would be weird for him. Maybe not though. He doesn't seem to care how he gets his food, as long as he gets it!
