bottle trouble...

JSanFran

we started with bottle/pumped milk feedings early on...like 3 weeks and he did great taking it at first...now, since DH is lazy and never wants to feed him (argh) he has completely basically forgotten how to take it.

I will occasionally take from me and does occasionlly do well but I can't him consistent enough to feel comfortable having anyone else really "help out" with him or leave him for any length of time.  DH is doing night routine tomorrow night and I can't really rely on a bottle for the last feeding.

so...any tips?  Tried multiple bottles, nipples all basically the same (medella and born free, have Dr browns haven't tried it yet). 

Same deal with the paci...guess I waited a little long to get these going... oh yeah...he's almost 11 weeks old...

If he's hungry, he'll eat. He may be refusing the bottle because you are there. If you want to get out of the house, go for it!
