Hi all! Question. So I am 31 weeks and I plan on breastfeeding this time around. I am a little overwhelmed with reading all these articles, blogs, and comments from other moms. My main concern is that she won't take a bottle once she latches on the nipple. I'm only going to be on maternity leave for a short period of time then she will be going to daycare unfortunately so what is if she doesn't take the bottle ?! What do you do at that point?! 😒

I introduced bottle at 2 weeks because all my coworkers had that problem and had to delay their work retun to get baby on bottle. I was able to get my baby at 2 weeks to switch from bottle to breast with absolutely NO resistance or nipple confusion. I started with a 4 oz Dr Brown bottle she still 61st 8 months goes bottle to breast with no problem and I thought being bottle fed all day would make her eventually reject my breast but nope and she gets 6-7 oz bottles plus a little food when I'm at work but on weekend's it's breast all day maybe one bottle and some baby food and she doesn't complain like she's hungry or anything. every baby different you just have to try and be consistent
Mine started the occasional bottle at 4 weeks. we like the medela and the Munchkin latch brands. we've not had any problems with nipple confusion either. good luck!
I introduced my son to a bottle at 4 weeks or so and I never had a problem with nipple confusion. I also used the Avent natural wide mouth bottles (I think that's what they are called.) good luck.
After 4 weeks we found a bottle the boy would take. Every day we practiced! He nurses and takes bottles except when I am near him.
I don't think nipple confusion is really a big deal or a "thing", I think I some babies just get lazy or used to a bottle nipple because it comes out at a different speed as a real nipple and they have to work less to take a bottle. I wouldn't worry about it until you run into the problem, if you even do. I have a preemie- some say it's harder to nurse preemie's but I'm able to nurse and bottle feed him without any issues. Each kid is different. Worry about it if you get to that point. =]
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
I can't take it anymore! Haley (yes my 1mth old and no I wasn't able to go through this "joy" of nursing my older daughter, Molly) has been screaming non stop for 6hrs! All she wants to do is eat and I can't have her attached to me all day, everyday! She has wanted to eat every hr on the hr for the past 3hrs! I put her in her room so I don't scream at her but I just can't take it!
Just curious who breastfed & who bottle fed :) I’m going to bottle feed even though I have been told endless of times breast is best! But wondering what’s popular, what do you all prefer? :) xx
So what are we all going to do once Alexa becomes self aware and tries to take over the planet?
Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Ok that's great! Thanks for the feedback !
