Sorry for the long essay!
OK so baby is not here yet but I wanted some advice from other ladies.
With my first I breastfed for 6 weeks, then switched to formula and he accepted a bottle (a mam one) no problems. My second I exclusively breastfed for around 6 months then weaned onto bottle by 8 months. For the first 6 months though she outright refused bottles of expressed milk. I bought so many different brands with no joy! (tried mam, tommee tippee, medela calma and avent) So when I went back to work at 6 months it was a struggle as you can imagine!! 😁
With this one I plan to breastfeed again but I am going to try and give a bottle of expressed milk every other day or something like that from day 1 to try and eliminate that problem! I really don't want to cause nipple confusion though so was wondering which bottles you all use for the occasional feed? Thanks ladies!
