New mom need help

My baby is six month now, and I am thinking go back to work. Because I only nursing after he born, so now he doesn't drink any formula and doesn't use any bottle, what can I do?

Re: New mom need help

  • I think you might want to direct this question to the Breastfeeding board.
  • Auntie gave great advice. Both my boys would not drink from a bottle. With DS1 he was fed from a syringe until around 5-6 months when he took to a straw sippy cup. With DS2, he had oral aversion from severe reflux, so nothing could get near his mouth or he would start vomiting. This is pretty rare though, but I wanted to let you know that it is o.k if he doesn't end up drinking as much when you are not there. They usually make up for it when you come home. With DS2, the sitter would bring him during my lunch break so I could quickly nurse him. That made the longest he went without anything 6-7 hours, since I usually work a 12 hour shift. It worked and we got through it. 

    I'm sure you are worried now, but it does get better with time.
