my son will be 4 months in two weeks. I BF and he gets formula when I'm at work which would be 4 hours a day. My son is used to comfort feeding he can't fall asleep without my boob. Not unless he is super tired and rocked to sleep. So of course anyone who watches him has a hard time :( I feed bad for him and anyone who is watching him. A lot of ppl suggested for me to just give him a bottle so it won't be so hard for him. Any thoughts to this?

@mommabeardurso, that would be actually my next post. I've tried pumping and he reacts the same way to the bottle. I've switched nipples and the current one I have is actually working better than the previous one.
Have you tried pumping? Must be hard for you as well.
See if he will take a pacifier after the bottle for comfort.
Yeah I use to work 8-10 hours over night and she would only take maybe 3 oz of my milk. I never tried giving her formula though. Basically as long as she was gaining weight I was ok. She ate all day long to make up for it. Eventually though I did quit my job, it's so hard to take care of a baby with no sleep. Try other nipples.
