unless of course you have a big objection to formula per se.
No, formula was fine for DS1, I have nothing against it, or at least I didnt think I did.....I caved last night and tried a bottle and I was almost in tears making it, I dont know why it made me so sad!
He was ridiculously OT last night. He woke early evening and I managed, after a bit of fussing, to settle him but then come 9.30pm he was screaming. I fed him (bf) but he would just suck a few times then fall asleep, but if I put him down he screamed. Nothing I did would settle him. So, I thought maybe a bottle would get a feed into him, and as by this time it was gone 10pm I thought it was an opportunity to try a bottle for the DF. He was having none of it. I dont know if it was the bottle, the formula or both. He didnt actually drink any but would have had a taste. And then he wouldnt take the boob, and even struggled to take the dummy
I did manage to get him to take a BF about 30 mins later as he still hadn't calmed, but he gave the nipple a thorough check first to ensure there was no bottle going on!!
We then had more screaming later in the night, but it's all down to OT, I know that for sure.
