Have any of you moms felt prisoner .
Because your baby won't take a bottle ?
Please help I need advice I am freaking out .
My son is using miracle cup 360 since he's 5months for water. O tried different bottles and brands, formulas, nothing worked. I give up. Lol. I'll just wait for him to turn one and we're done ;)
My daughter never once took a bottle, and she is going to be 10 months old in two days! You learn ways to cope. I still get stir crazy at times because I never get any alone time and everywhere I go she must come with me, but I wouldn't change it for the world because I know this is what is best for her and I'm not about to starve her for hours on end while I go out and do my own thing...It helps that I am not working at the moment, if you need to go back to work not sure what to tell ya other than have dad or whoever is watching use a shirt that smells like you and try those "breast like" bottles...? We tried it all and nothing worked so if your lil one is the same as mine, unfortunately either your kid will starve while you're gone or you'll have to work out a way to be near your baby every couple hours at least...some babies are just super stubborn, I think my girl got it from having tongue and lip ties, the doctor I spoke to about it said since we worked so hard to get her to latch to the breast without causing me pain (took 2 months of agony to train her to latch right, never once gave could get her to give me a break with bottles), that it was likely causing her discomfort to try and drink some a bottle because the latch is different, and then after a while it was more of a "she has no idea what a bottle is for, how to use it or why she's being forced to use it" thing...
honestly I wouldn't worry about it to much, if he's hungry while you're at work, he will eat. especially if he won't take the bottle and it's a little past feed time, if he's hungry enough he will eat
I always bring him with me. Sometimes when I need to go for quick shop I make sure I fed him and his full. That gives me 2hrs or 3hrs max of break.😂
@hellosweetie, @kiyaratores thanks ladies not sure what to do for now I will just keep breast feeding and I won't worry about work yet or try not to . I work about 30 mins away so that sucks . I just hope by month 6 it's better we have a concert to go to and I am really looking forward to it . But it's 2 hours away .
