I'm not sure if y'all introduce yourselves over here, but I figured before I jumped in I'd at least say hello.
My son was born on 03/29 & has been EBF since birth, with the exception of the few formula bottles we had to give him when my supply completely tanked after getting Mirena. We haven't had too many issues, aside from mastitis that quickly cleared up and a clogged milk duct in the very beginning.
My question is my son is nearly inconsolable when I'm at work (which unfortunately is two 12 hour shifts and two 8 hour shifts) He will eat breastmilk out of a bottle just fine, but is still whining and occasionally screaming until he's rocked to sleep or can be comforted. My DH brought him to my office last night and he nursed until he fell asleep. He said that he was calmer and more content, but with a 3.5 year old DD and a rather demanding job (I'm a police dispatcher) I won't always have a chance to step out of my office to nurse him. have any of you experienced this? How were your LO's comforted by your absence?
Sorry in advance for my rambling post!
