| thank you all for such great advice.. i think i will try to introduce bottle feeding nearer to 4 weeks just to make sure my supply continues to be adequate, and to lessen the risk of confusion for my little girl. I feel like i'm going to go insane if I don't have a little more time to myself and 1 bottle feed every other day may give me that extra couple hours sleep or time to dash out for a walk.
any more comments are greatly appreciated... can only learn from other people's advice and hopefully not many of my own mistakes as well!!
THANKS!!
Barb - how difficult is using a feeding cup or syringe? surely for the syringe, it doesn't contain the amount of milk that she normally takes from my breasts at each feed? can you add any comments on how i use them, as at the hospital i never actually watched them using a cup or syringe so a bit worried i'll end up with my breastmilk all over the baby's chin or clothing and none in her belly! thanks ahead of time |
