when my little gets here in June I want to breastfeed strictly but I feel like my fiance will miss out on getting to feed the baby any suggestions? if I pump so he can feed will she/he latch again?
I breastfeed exclusively for the first month than introduced the bottle no problem I j couldn't give her the bottle BC she wanted the real thing from me
my husband would change and burp our little guy. I introduced a bottle, the medela with slow flow nipple, at 4.5 weeks for bedtime at first so he could feed him. haven't had any problems with confusion or latch and he's now 7 weeks old :)
before introducing a bottle my boyfriend would change our son before I feed him & burp him after. it made me feel involved & it helped with bonding also. he also helped keep our son awake my tickling his feet when he would fall asleep while feeding.
don't introduce a bottle too soon.
but I have my hubby sit next to me And interact with baby.
but hubby and baby have plenty of bonding. they read books and other stuff.
My son was in the NICU for a couple days after he was born & I had to pump & give him a bottle because he was jaundice & couldn't come out from under the lights. He took the bottle no problem & latched right on after we were home. All babies are different. Don't do anything you're not comfortable with.
