Hello,
I am new here and wonder if anyone can help me out. I have started to re-introduce the bottle to my 4 month old (she did amazing with it when we first introduced at 5 weeks - expressed milk, but then I got lazy pumping so we stopped bottle feeding after about 2 weeks =P)... little did I know she would forget how to do it (yea, ftm here). Now she won't suck on the nipple and if she does for a little bit she spits out the milk (I have tried thawed milk or refrigerated milk - 1d old, but not yet freshly pumped, and I have only tried one bottle type). Then after a while she would get so upset with it and screams. We have tried letting my husband bottle feed, still no luck. I am getting anxious because I will be going back to work part time next month when my husband would be home with her doing the feeding. I am worry she won't eat, and as a consequent, won't nap for the day until I get back and BF her - as all of you can imagine what that would be like - already start to feel bad for both my daughter and my husband.................
I have tried offering bottle before breast, offering bottle BF one side, didn't make any difference.
Can anyone share their experience with bottle training? Any help would be appreciated.
